Applications of the concept of attributable fraction in medical genetics.

American journal of medical genetics - 1 Aug 1991

Khoury M J, Beaty T H, Cohen B H

Abstract excerpt

Attributable fraction, the fraction of cases of a disease in a population attributed to a particular risk factor, is a useful measure in the design and interpretation of epidemiologic studies of disease etiology. We review here the applications of the concept of attributable fraction in medical genetics. Specifically, attributable fraction can be used 1) in studies of the association between genetic traits and...
