Bayesian Semiparametric Estimation of Cancer-Specific Age-at-Onset Penetrance With Application to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
癌种特异性发病年龄外显率的贝叶斯半参数估计:Li-Fraumeni综合征应用
Penetrance, which plays a key role in genetic research, is defined as the proportion of individuals with the genetic variants (i.e., genotype) that cause a particular trait and who have clinical symptoms of the trait (i.e., phenotype). We propose a Bayesian semiparametric approach to estimate the cancer-specific age-at-onset penetrance in the presence of the competing risk of multiple cancers. We employ a Bayesian semiparametric competing risk model to model the duration…
