Abstract excerpt
Pedigrees collected for linkage studies are a valuable resource that could be used to estimate genetic relative risks (RRs) for genetic variants recently discovered in case-control genome wide association studies. To estimate RRs from highly ascertained pedigrees, a pedigree "retrospective likelihood" can be used, which adjusts for ascertainment by conditioning on the phenotypes of pedigree members. We explore a...
