How heritable is individual susceptibility to death? The results of an analysis of survival data on Danish, Swedish and Finnish twins
1998-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Molecular epidemiological studies confirm a substantial contribution of individual genes to variability in susceptibility to disease and death for humans. To evaluate the contribution of all genes to susceptibility and to estimate individual survival characteristics, survival data on related individuals (eg twins or other relatives) are needed. Correlated gamma-frailty models of bivariate survival are use...
