## Abstract Recently, there has been interest in family‐based tests of association to identify X‐chromosome genes. However, none of the approaches allow for estimation of genetic risks. We propose a likelihood approach to estimate disease‐related marker relative risks and test genotype association

## Abstract In case‐parents trios design, the association between a multi‐allelic candidate‐gene and a disease can be detected by using maximum of score tests (max‐score) when the mode of inheritance is known. We apply the maximum of the max‐score statistics and the maximum of likelihood ratio stat
W e read with interest the study by Hassan and colleagues 1 that evaluated a possible association between passive smoking and pancreatic cancer. The authors report that passive smoking is not a significant risk factor for pancreatic cancer, although it may increase the risk in smokers who are also e
