CNVassoc (version 1.4)

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: ll{ 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 }
