Abstract excerpt
The recurrence-risk ratio of disease in siblings, lambdaS, is a standard parameter used in genetic analysis to estimate the statistical power for detection of a disease locus. However, the relationship between the underlying risk conferred by a disease-susceptibility allele and lambdaS has not been well described. The former is generally quantified as a genotype relative risk, gamma, and measures the ratio of...
