Pathway-PDT

Pathway analysis based on Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) data has become popular as a secondary analysis strategy. Although many pathway analysis tools have been developed for case-control study, there is no tool that can use all information from raw genotypes in general nuclear families. We developed the Pathway-PDT, which uses the framework of Pedigree Disequilibrium Test (PDT) for general family data, to perform pathway analysis.

Availability and implementation: Pathway-PDT is implemented in C++ with POSIX threads (pthreads). Binaries (Windows) and source codes with makefile (Linux) are available.
