Note.— Pedigree labels refer to figure 1. All individuals are genotyped.

a

Penetrances are given in terms of the genotypes at the disease locus, where d is the susceptibility allele, with frequency q. KS is the sibling recurrence risk for the disease model. In all cases, the disease prevalence is 15%.

b

For pedigree F, N*pairs is related to the power of Spairs if the grandmother's status was affected instead of unknown.
