Differences between blood donors and a population sample: implications for case-control studies.

International journal of epidemiology - 1 Aug 2013

Golding Jean, Northstone Kate, Miller Laura L, Davey Smith George, Pembrey Marcus

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Selecting appropriate controls for studies of genetic variation in case series is important. The two major candidates involve the use of blood donors or a random sample of the population. METHODS: We compare and contrast the two different populations of controls for studies of genetic variation using data from parents enrolled in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). In...
