Study of the parent-of-origin effect in monogenic diseases with variable age of onset. Application on ATTRv.

Abstract excerpt

In genetic diseases with variable age of onset, an accurate estimation of the survival function for the mutation carriers and also modifying factors effects estimations are important for the management of asymptomatic gene carriers across life. Among the modifying factors, the gender of the parent transmitting the mutation (i.e. the parent-of-origin effect) has been shown to have a significant effect on survival...
