Estimation of the risk of a qualitative phenotype: dependence on population risk.

Abstract excerpt

Individual disease risk estimated based on the data from single or multiple genetic loci is generally calculated using the genotypes of a subject, frequencies of alleles of interest, odds ratios and the average population risk. However, it is often difficult to estimate accurately the average population risk, and therefore it is often expressed as an interval. To better estimate the risk of a subject with given...
