Abstract

Much interest in human genetics studies of blood systems is focussed on the possible incompatibility of discordant twin pairs. Here we discuss a differential viability model which accounts for deviations from the standard multinomial model for twin pair data based on the Hardy-Weinberg frequencies. We discuss related estimation and testing problems, illustrating the techniques with data from the Louisville Twin Study.
