In this report we apply methods outlined in the companion paper [Liang, Genet Epiderniol8:329-338, 19911 to study the association between proband age at onset and familial risk among first-degree relatives of 374 schizophrenic probands. The analyses take into consideration the potential problems of
The rare early-onset variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD) appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. More typical late-onset AD also shows familial aggregation, but possible genetic mechanisms are difficult to examine because the phenotypic expression of the putative AD genotyp
We use frailty models to analyse the e!ect of latent genetic and environmental risk factors on hazard functions in nuclear families. The approach expresses latent risk factors (frailties) as functions of the e!ects of a single major gene and shared familial risk. The latter may result from shared po
