Abstract excerpt
Family-based design is one of the most popular designs in genetic studies and has many unique features for risk-prediction research. It is robust against genetic heterogeneity, and the relatedness among family members can be informative for predicting an individual's risk for disease with polygenic and shared environmental components of risk. Despite these strengths, family-based designs have been used...
