Complex binary traits result from an intricate network of genetic and environmental factors. To aid their genetic dissection, several generalized linear models have been described to detect interaction between genes. However, it is recognized that these models have limited genetic interpretation. To overcome this problem, the allelic penetrance approach was proposed to model the action of a dominant or a recess...
Many binary phenotypes do not follow a classical Mendelian inheritance pattern. Interaction between genetic and environmental factors is thought to contribute to the incomplete penetrance phenomena often observed in these complex binary traits. Several two-locus models for penetrance have been proposed to aid the genetic dissection of binary traits. Such models assume linear genetic effects of both loci in diff...
Em trabalhos anteriores foram propostos diversos modelos estatísticos para a penetrância de forma a inferir a interacção de dois genes dial´elicos na construção de fenótipos binários complexos: modelos de acção independente, modelos de inibição e modelos de número mínimo de alelos. Estes modelos baseiam-se numa decomposição da penetrância através da abordagem por penetrâncias alélicas, que permitiu a inclusão d...
