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
## Abstract Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) can be subdivided by its patterns of motor symptoms into tremorβdominant (TDT), akineticβrigid (ART), and mixed type (MT). Our objective was to determine whether age at onset and family history are different in these three types. In total, 366 patient
Previous analyses of age at onset in schizophrenia, which is highly variable and appears to be influenced by familial factors, have neglected to consider either (1) the impact of censoring on correlations in age at onset in affected relatives or (2) the impact of correlated ages at onset on the rela
Information on age of onset can easily be incorporated into regressive logistic models by assuming that age of onset follows a logistic distribution. This is analogous to previously proposed models based on the normal distribution. The two distributions, and hence the two types of models, are very s
