The impact of truncation and missing family links in population-based registers on familial risk estimates.

American journal of epidemiology - 15 Dec 2007

Leu Monica, Czene Kamila, Reilly Marie

Abstract excerpt

Family history information is often incomplete in population-based disease registers because of truncation and/or missing family links. In this study, the authors simulated complete populations of related individuals with realistic age, family structure, and incidence rates. After mimicking the r...
