Note that it is not possible to estimate the incidence of disease from a case-control study unless the study is population based and all cases in a defined population are obtained.
Abstract This paper considers the analysis of genetic case-control data.
The steps described involve the i appropriate selection of measures of association and relevance of disease models.

Historically association analysis of genetic polymorphisms has been mostly performed in a case-control setting with unrelated affected subjects compared with unrelated unaffected subjects.
