Table 2.

Disease models used in simulation study

Risk A/A A/a a/a
Model 1
B/B 1 1 + θ (1 + θ)2
B/b 1 + θ (1 + θ)2 (1 + θ)3
b/b (1 + θ)2 (1 + θ)3 (1 + θ)4
Model 2
B/B 1 1 1
B/b 1 (1 + θ)2 (1 + θ)3
b/b 1 (1 + θ)3 (1 + θ)4
Model 3
B/B 1 1 1
B/b 1 1 + θ 1 + θ
b/b 1 1 + θ 1 + θ

Each table cell lists the relative risk of the corresponding genotype combination. Genotypes with risks equal to 1 have no effects to the disease. The parameter θ is computed according to the specified marginal effects (0.5 in our simulation) and disease MAFs (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5).
