Abstract excerpt
The sample size of the data used in genetic studies is often a factor limiting the accuracy of statistical estimates. In this paper we suggest a new approach to evaluation of genetic influence on risk of development of aging-related health disorders. The approach results in substantial improvement of the accuracy of statistical estimates without an increase in the size of the genetic sample. The approach is based...
