Abstract excerpt
We compared two variance components methods for detecting genes that influence time to onset for a complex disease using simulated data. We first divided the extended families into nuclear families. The first method fitted variance components to the martingale residuals, which were obtained from first fitting a proportional hazards model to the time to onset data for the trait, allowing for the quantitative...
