Abstract excerpt
The understanding of complex diseases and insights to improve their medical management may be achieved through the deduction of how specific haplotypes may play a joint effect to change relative risk information. In this paper we describe an ascertainment adjusted likelihood-based method to estimate haplotype relative risks using pooled family data coming from association and/or linkage studies that were used to...
