  • Process for testing gene-disease associations
    Patent number: 5464742
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process to test the association of an allele and a disease, especially a non-Mendelian disease. The process involves a comparison of the proportion of test individuals who have the disease and carry the allele from a set of families in which the allele is present and the proportion of test individuals expected to carry the allele if there is no association between the gene and the disease.
