Hello,

I am attempting to do an association analysis with GWASTools. I have followed the example script for making the GenotypeData object, and when I call variables with get__() I see exactly what I would expect. I am using imputed genotypes. The genotype file that I am working with is only a small subset of chromosome 1 (I wanted to troubleshoot with a small dataset before scaling up), and the phenotype includes only males, although there are females in the file. Females just have NA for all phenotypes except sex. When I call getSex(), I see a vector of Ms and Fs as I would expect. 

My R commands are listed below:

ncfile <- tempfile()
snpfile <- tempfile()
scanfile <- tempfile()
probfile <- file.path("/path1/dcct_1kg_chr1_1_0")
sampfile <- file.path("/path2/EDcph.sample") 

ncdfImputedDosage(input.files=c(probfile,sampfile), ncdf.filename=ncfile,chromosome=1, input.type="IMPUTE2",input.dosage=FALSE,
                  snp.annot.filename=snpfile, scan.annot.filename=scanfile, verbose=TRUE)
nc <- NcdfGenotypeReader(ncfile)
scanAnnot <- getobj(scanfile)
snpAnnot <- getobj(snpfile)
genoData <- GenotypeData(nc,scanAnnot=scanAnnot, snpAnnot=snpAnnot) 

# Two different association tests give me different errors, which makes me think something is wrong with the GenotypeData object, but I can't figure out what:

> assocTestCPH(genoData, event="pheno", time.to.event="time_to_event", covars=c("Age"),
               + chromosome.set = 1, block.size=500, verbose=TRUE, outfile="try_cph.out")
 Error in `[<-`(`*tmp*`, sample.dat$sex == "F", YchromCode(genoData), value = FALSE) : 
     subscript out of bounds

> mydat <- assocTestRegression(genoData, outcome="pheno", model.type="logistic", dosage=TRUE)

Hi Melody,

There was a bug in assocTestCPH when using a dataset with no Y chromosome, but it has been fixed in the latest release.  Please upgrade to GWASTools 1.12.0 and see if that solves your problem.

The second error with assocTestRegression looks like a problem reading from the netCDF file, and I suspect it is the result of an error state introduced by the previous failed call to assocTestCPH.  Try again with a fresh R session and see if the error goes away.

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

 Thank you so much! I thought I had updated everything, but apparently not. Now it's working.
