GAW10: simulated family data for a common oligogenic disease with quantitative risk factors.

abstract：:The prevalence rate for autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is about 30 times higher in the type I diabetic (IDDM) families that were ascertained for Genetic Analysis Workshop 5 (GAW5) than in the general population. Two approaches were used to study the clustering of ATD and IDDM in these families: 1) HLA haplotype shar...
