## Abstract Genomeβwide association studies are carried out to identify unknown genes for a complex trait. Polymorphisms showing the most statistically significant associations are reported and followed up in subsequent confirmatory studies. In addition to the test of association, the statistical a
The sibling recurrence risk, sibling relative risk, and locus-specific sibling relative risk are fundamental quantities in genetic epidemiologic research and are often estimated without accounting for the sampling scheme. For data generated under some genetic models, bias of estimates may be large i
