    Abstract

    Sibling risk ratios are used to quantify the genetic effect of two simulated disease loci, identified through TDT and association methods and characterized via components of variance derived from a relative penetrance matrix. Inconsistencies between the data set and the simulating model are also discussed. ©1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
