The transmission disequilibrium test is the paired McNemar test statistic . From the raw unambiguous-transmission table,
The formal one-degree-of-freedom chi-squared distribution approximation gives , so the calculation does not reject at 5%. Its ordinary null calibration would require a valid missing-parent inclusion rule; the raw arithmetic alone does not establish one.
Using the complete-trio table gives , with . It also does not reject. Homozygous-parent transmissions in supply no discordant contrast for this test.
