Table 5. MS concordance rates in monozygotic twins of DRB1*1501 carrier (HLA+) and DRB1*1501 non-carrier (HLA–) probands*.
Monozygotic Twins of MS Probands | |||
HLA+ | HLA– | Totals | |
Concordant for MS (C) | 9 | 11 | 20 |
Discordant for MS (D) | 31 | 42 | 73 |
Totals | 40 | 53 | 93 |
Pair-wise Concordance † | (9/40) = 0.225 | (11/53) = 0.207 | 0.215 |
Proband-wise Concordance †† | 0.309 | 0.287 | 0.297 |
Proband-wise Concordance (Adjusted) ††† | t = 0.166 | s = 0.154 | b = 0.160 |
Proband-wise Concordance (Adjusted) †††† | t = 0.139 | s = 0.129 | b = 0.134 |
P(HLA+|MS, IG MS) (Adjusted) # | 0.57 |
(HLA+) = carrier of ≥1 copy of the DRB1*1501 allele; Data from: Reference [21].
Pair-wise rates (Z1) calculated as: ; see Reference [30]
Proband-wise concordance rates (Z2) calculated as: ; adjusted [30] for the overall probability of doubly ascertaining concordant twin-pairs in the study of Willer, et al. [21]
For adjustment: See: Prop. (1.4a) (1.4b) of Appendix S1 (Section C)
Further adjusted to the requirement that: b = 0.134
Adjusted to the condition where:
