Abstract excerpt
Proxy phenotypes allow for the utilization of genetic data from large population cohorts to analyze late-onset diseases by using parental diagnoses as a proxy for genetic disease risk. Proxy phenotypes based on parental diagnosis status have been used in previous studies to identify common variants associated with Alzheimer's disease. As of yet, proxy phenotypes have not been used to identify genes associated...
