Variegate Porphyria (VP) is one of the acute hepatic porphyrias, and is clinically characterised by skin lesions and acute neuropsychiatric/visceral attacks that occur separately or together. The disorder is caused by a partial deficiency of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the penultimate enzyme in the

Approximately 95% of all Friedreich's ataxia (FA) patients are homozygous for a large GAA triplet-repeat expansion in the first intron of the Friedreich's ataxia gene (FRDA). The remaining cases are expected to be compound heterozygous with a GAA expansion on one allele and a point mutation on the o
## Abstract Estimation and testing of genetic effects (genotype relative risks) are often performed conditionally on parental genotypes, using data from case‐parent trios. This strategy avoids having to estimate nuisance parameters such as parental mating type frequencies, and also avoids generatin
