Dear Sir/Madam,

Since a few day now I try to use the command "polygenic" from the GenAbel package. However, I keep bumping up against an error message: "Error in polygenic(Testo, kin = kinship, data = data1) : dimension of outcome and kinship.matrix do not match".

My data exists of 1240 individuals with 74 markers. It mainly consists of small families (2 or more brothers, father and mother; otherwise only the brothers are given). Genotypes are provided for the largest part of the members, whereas the phenotype is only given for the male individuals. I imported the data using the convert.snp.ped and load.gwaa.data commands. The kinship table was constructed with "makekinship". When I look at the dimensions of the kinship table, it is exactly the same as the number of individuals in my dataset.

I also provide you with the following information because maybe that gives a clue on where things are going wrong. When using the genetic control method via the qtscore command, I get the following message:" data1.qt<-qtscore(Testo~age+BMI,data1) Warning messages: 1: In qtscore(Testo ~ age + BMI, data1) : 265 observations deleted due to missingness 2: In qtscore(Testo ~ age + BMI, data1) : Number of observations < 100, Lambda estimate is unreliable. Results for only a few SNPs are returned.

Can you tell me what I'm missing?

Thank you in advance,

Kindest Regards,
