Impact of non-ignorable missingness on genetic tests of linkage and/or association using case-parent trios

The transmission/disequilibrium test was introduced to test for linkage disequilibrium between a marker and a putative disease locus using case-parent trios. However, parental genotypes may be incomplete in such a study. When parental information is non-randomly missing, due, for example, to death f...
