Abstract excerpt
One can obtain population-based estimates of the penetrance of a measurable mutation from cohort studies, from population-based case-control studies, and from genotyped-proband designs (GPD). In a GPD, we assume that representative individuals (probands) agree to be genotyped, and one then obtains information on the phenotypes of first-degree relatives. We also consider an extension of the GPD in which a relative...
