The authors (Samuels et al., American Journal of Human Genetics, 78:713-720, 2006) used a simulation-based (Monte Carlo) permutation test to generate power curves for European mtDNA haplogroup studies, to derive a universal equation to enable power calculations for prospective studies across the globe, and to show that very large cohorts are required to reliably detect an association with complex human diseases.
