Our motivation here is to calculate the power of three statistical tests used when there are genetic traits that operate under a pleiotropic mode of inheritance and when qualitative phenotypes are defined by use of thresholds for the multiple quantitative phenotypes. Specifically, we formulate a multivariate function that provides the probability that an individual has a vector of specific quantitative trait values conditional on having a risk locus genotype, and we apply thresholds to define qualitative phenotypes (affected, unaffected), and compute penetrances and conditional genotype frequencies based on the multivariate function. We extend analytic power and minimum-sample-size-necessary (MSSN) formulas for two categorical-based tests (Genotype, Linear Trend Test (LTT)) of genetic association to the pleiotropic model. We further compare MSSN of the Genotype and LTT tests with that of a MANOVA test (Pillai). We approximate MSSN for statistics by linear models using factorial design and ANOVA. With the ANOVA decomposition, we determine what factors most significantly change power/MSSN for all statistics. Finally, we determine what test statistics have smallest MSSN In this work, MSSN calculations are for two traits (bivariate distributions) only (for illustrative purposes). We note that the calculations may be extended to address any number of traits. Our key findings are that the Genotype test usually has smaller MSSN requirements than the LTT. More inclusive thresholds (top/bottom 25% versus top/bottom 10%) have higher sample size requirements. The Pillai test has much larger MSSN than both the Genotype and Trend tests as a result of sample selection. With these formulas, researchers can specify how many subjects they must collect to localize genes for pleiotropic phenotypes.
