Methods for Estimating the Global Burden of Cerebrovascular Diseases.

abstract：:We consider the problem of testing that a disease with variable age at onset is an autosomal dominant or recessive genetic trait. Specific reference is made to Alzheimer's disease and recent publications proposing an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The pedigree structure allowed is restricted to first-degree r...
