| Abstract | We present an extension of a regression-based quantitative-trait linkage analysis method to incorporate parent-of-origin effects. We separately regressed total, paternal, and maternal IBD sharing on traits’ squared sums and differences. We also developed a test for imprinting that indicates whether there is any difference between the paternal and maternal regression coefficients. Since this method treats the identity-by-descent information as the dependent variable that is conditioned on the trait, it can be readily applied to data from complex ascertainment processes. We performed a simulation study to examine the performance of the method. We found that when using empirical critical values, the method shows identical or higher power compared to existing methods for evaluation of parent-of-origin effect in linkage analysis of quantitative traits. Missing parental genotypes increase the type I error rate of the linkage test and decrease the power of the imprinting test. When the major gene has a low heritability, the power of the method decreases considerably, but the statistical tests still perform well. We also applied a permutation algorithm, which ensures the appropriate type I error rate for the test for imprinting. The method was applied to a data from a study of 6 body size related measures and 23 loci on chromosome 7 for 255 nuclear families. Multipoint identities-by-descent (IBD) were obtained using a modification of the SIMWALK 2 program. A parent-of-origin effect consistent with maternal imprinting was suggested at 99.67–111.26 Mb for body mass index, bioelectrical impedance analysis, waist circumference, and leptin concentration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
