Abstract
The .delta. measure (attributable risk) of Bengtsson and Thomson can be used in a wide variety of cases to determine which of a number of HLA antigens associated with a particular disease allele has the strongest genetic association. Tests of significance and confidence intervals for the .delta. measure will be discussed.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
