Estimation of transmission probabilities in families ascertained through a proband with variable age-at-onset disease: application to the HLA A, B and DR loci in Finnish families with type 1 diabetes. The DiMe Study Group.

Abstract excerpt

An open problem of some interest in the study of HLA has been the possible existence of transmission distortion in the human HLA complex. In this paper, transmission probabilities are estimated and tested using data on HLA A, B and DR loci genotypes of parents and offspring ascertained from the entire population of Finland (Childhood Diabetes in Finland Study) through one or more offspring diagnosed with...
