Standard statistical tests for equality of allele frequencies in males and females and tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are tightly linked by their assumptions. Tests for equality of allele frequencies assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, whereas the usual chi-square or exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assume equality of allele frequencies in the sexes. In this paper, we propose ways to break this interdependence in assumptions of the two tests by proposing an omnibus exact test that can test both hypotheses jointly, as well as a likelihood ratio approach that permits these phenomena to be tested both jointly and separately. The tests are illustrated with data from the 1000 Genomes project.
用于检验男性和女性等位基因频率是否相等的标准统计检验,以及用于检验哈迪-温伯格平衡的检验,在其假设方面紧密相关。检验等位基因频率是否相等的检验假定存在哈迪-温伯格平衡,而通常用于检验哈迪-温伯格平衡的卡方检验或精确检验则假定两性中的等位基因频率相等。在本文中,我们提出了一些方法来打破这两种检验在假设上的相互依赖关系,通过提出一种可以同时检验两个假设的综合精确检验,以及一种允许对这些现象进行联合和单独检验的似然比方法。我们用来自千人基因组计划的数据对这些检验进行了说明。
