Habbema Both single-entry two-step (SETS) couple screening and double-entry two-step (DETS) couple screening have been recommended as methods to screen for cystic fibrosis gene...

...Norikazu Yasuda Statistical procedures based on a Poisson hypothesis for surveying serial occurrences of incidence were developed. Three methods, the z-test, the cusum technique and the sequential test were applied in a study of a nationwide screening system on newborns for hereditary metabolic...

...Allen F. Calvert; George E. Trimble 6,366 Afro-American infants were screened for G6PD activity. 379 males (11.4%) and 77 females (2.5%) were deficient. Confirmation was made by a standard spectrophotometric assay. The results for the male infants in this study are comparable to those found...

... of mapping them by testing markers one after another fail to capture the substantial information of interactions among disease loci. Here we propose a backward haplotype transmission association (BHTA) algorithm to address this problem. The algorithm can administer a screening on any disease model when case...
