genotypebyage {freqMAP} | R Documentation |
A simple simulated dataset comprising 4000 probands and 4000 controls, where subject age is tabulated against their genotype.
data(genotypebyage)
A data frame with 8000 observations on the following 5 variables.
age
subject.type
allele1
allele2
genotype
This dataset is used for the examples in the main help page for the
freqMAP: freqMAP-package
. See there for usage
details. In MAP plots as a function of age, the genotype frequency
curves in this dataset demonstrate non-homogeneous frequency
patterns. For instance, at ages above 70, the "b.b" genotype becomes
more frequent in probands than in younger probands. To compensate, the
"a.a" genotype is less frequent in older probands than younger
ones. The "a.b" genotype in probands is more homogeneous over all
ages. Control genotype frequencies are also relatively homogeneous
over all ages.
