Reads a PLINK format fam file

This is wrapper for read_table that reads a basic PLINK fam file. For plink hard-called data, it may be useful to use the fam file ids as a filter for your phenotype and covariate data.

ukb_gen_read_fam(
  file,
  col.names = c("FID", "IID", "paternalID", "maternalID", "sex", "phenotype"),
  na.strings = "-9"
)

Arguments

file: A path to a fam file.
col.names: A character vector of column names. Default: c("FID", "IID", "paternalID", "maternalID", "sex", "phenotype")
