For SNP rs11065987 on chromosome 12, it can be seen that, for case-parent trios and case-father duos, the number of risk alleles inherited from the father and mother are approximately equal; however, for case-mother duos, many more risk alleles are estimated to be inherited from the mother: 10.007, as compared to 1.993 from the father. This results in the initial estimated paternally inherited imprinting effects odds ratio Ip = 1.662 reducing to 1.555, thus decreasing the significance (and increasing the p value). Similarly, for SNP rs7982677 on chromosome 13, it can be seen that more alleles are inherited from the father than from the mother for all trios and duos, resulting in an initial estimated maternally inherited imprinting effect odds ratio Im = 1.577 reducing to 1.504. Again, although the significance is decreased when using haplotype estimation, it corresponds to the use of more information (an additional 43 families on chromosome 12 and an additional 29 families on chromosome 14) and thus should be considered the more reliable result. We note that the decrease of significance seen in this dataset with respect to testing imprinting effects (Ip or Im) has no impact on the significance of associations due to the case subject’s own genotype, findings which have in any case already been replicated in independent cohorts.35"}
