Abstract excerpt
Age-at-onset phenotypes are important traits in genetic association analyses. Often, intermediate phenotypes that are related to the age-at-onset phenotype are also associated with the marker loci that are associated with the age-at-onset phenotype. In order to understand the genetic etiology of the observed associations, statistical methodology is needed to distinguish between a direct genetic effect on the...
