Comparative assessment of different familial aggregation methods in the context of large and unstructured pedigrees.

Abstract excerpt

Motivation: Familial aggregation analysis is an important early step for characterizing the genetic determinants of phenotypes in epidemiological studies. To facilitate this analysis, a collection of methods to detect familial aggregation in large pedigrees has been made available recently. However, efficacy of these methods in real world scenarios remains largely unknown. Here, we assess the performance of five...
