Method for calculating risk associated with family history of a disease.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1995

Kerber R A

Abstract excerpt

A method is described for estimating excess relative risks of a disease from familial factors. Beginning with population-based series of cases and controls, a cohort of each subject's relatives is formed and checked for disease against a population based registry. The disease experience of the cohort formed from each subject's relatives is summarized as a kinship-weighted familial standardized incidence ratio...
