Estimating relative risks from significant family-based association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Two approaches are described to estimate relative risks from significant family-based association studies. They can be used to obtain either point estimates or confidence regions. The approaches are evaluated by a simulation study and illustrated by application to a real data set. It is shown that both approaches largely reduce the bias in the relative risk estimates which can occur in case that the significant...
