CNVassocData (version 1.0)

dataMLPA: MLPA data

Description

This data set contains data from a MLPA assay for a case-control study. The data has intensities for two genes that can be used to infer copy number status. It also contains the TRUE copy number status obtained by using PCR technology.

Usage

data(dataMLPA)

Arguments

Format

dataMLPA is a data.frame with the following columns:
id
The unique identifiers of individuals
casco
Case-control stauts 0:control 1:case
Gene1
Intensities for Gene1
Gene2
Intensities for Gene2
PCR.Gene1
True copy number status for Gene1
PCR.Gene2
True copy number status for Gene2
quanti
Simulated continuos variable. It was generated to illustrate how to perform association analysis between a CNV and continuous traits
cov
Simulated continuous variable. It was generated to illustrate how to perform association adjusting for covariates
