Estimating disease risk associated with mutated genes in family-based designs.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Many clinical decisions require accurate estimates of disease risk associated with inherited gene mutations. While several family-based designs have been proposed, their relative advantages remain unclear. METHODS: We considered four commonly-used family-based designs and evaluated their performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency under several genetic models via simulation studies. We also derived...
