Abstract excerpt
With case-parent triad data, one can frequently deduce parent of origin of the child's alleles. This allows a parent-of-origin (PoO) effect to be estimated as the ratio of relative risks associated with the alleles inherited from the mother and the father, respectively. A possible cause of PoO effects is DNA methylation, leading to genomic imprinting. Because environmental exposures may influence methylation...
