Effective testing of gene-disease associations.

Abstract excerpt

We propose a method for testing any hypothesized association between a candidate allele, for which there is a specific laboratory test, and a common chronic disease. Families in which this allele is segregating are identified through index individuals who are homozygous or heterozygous for the allele. The sample consists of the subset of identified families who also have at least one member with the common...
