In this paper, we explore the use of a variety of familial transmission tests (and case‐control analyses) to screen for allelic associations in simulated marker data of a quality (2 cM map) that will feasibly arise from genomic scans within the next 5‐10 years. We demonstrate a form of the transmission‐disequilibrium test extended to multiallele systems. The methods used were log‐linear and related models implemented largely using standard statistical packages. ©1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
