Can I use univLogReg to test additive effects? #188

Can I use univLogReg or any functions here to test additive effects of several genotypes?

univLogReg() can be used to perform a GWAS for a binary trait, if that's your question.

If you want to test for joint effects, you need to go for polygenic scores or Mendelian randomization.
