Abstract excerpt
A statistic is introduced that relates discoveries made in genome-wide association (GWA) studies to patterns of disease risks among relatives. The genotype-specific recurrence risk (GSR) is the genotype-specific risk to relatives of known relationship to affected probands. The GSRs can be used for three purposes. (1) They can provide an independent test of whether an allele identified in a GWA study is associated...
