Table 1 Type I error rates for data generated under the null hypothesis of no genetic association (g ² =0)

Legend ST=Student’s t-test, WT=Welch’s t-test, Rank_ST (Rank_WT)=Student’s t-test (Welch’s t-test) on trait ranks, Log_ST (Log_WT)=Student’s t-test (Welch’s t-test) on log transformed trait, Rtn_ST (Rtn_WT)= Student’s t-test (Welch’s t-test) on trait rank transformed to normal.
