An exploration of genetic association tests for disease risk and age at onset.

Abstract excerpt

Risk genes influence the chance of an individual developing disease over their lifetime, although the age at onset (AAO) genes influence disease timing. These two categories are not disjoint; a gene that influences AAO might also appear to influence the risk. When an allele influences both AAO and risk, a reasonable question is whether we would have more power to detect association using a statistical test based...
