Abstract excerpt
There may be a different genetic basis for the two forms of the disease simulated in Problem 2 and the complex disease may be affected by environmental factors. Hence, we investigate the effects of two environmental factors. We selected 400 nuclear families from the data generated for Problem 2. Affection status was investigated in several ways. Individuals with severe and mild forms of the disease were both...
