Sibling correlations and segregation analysis of age-related maculopathy: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1994

Heiba I M, Elston R C, Klein B E, Klein R

Abstract excerpt

Sibling correlations were evaluated and segregation analysis was performed on age-dependent maculopathy scores of the right and left eyes of individuals from 564 families in the Beaver Dam Eye study. There is evidence of significant sibling correlations. The data fit a mixture of two normal distributions, especially after undergoing the Box and Cox power transformation. In each eye, the hypothesis of mendelian...
