Seems like this article needs to clarify when it's talking about pairwise versus casewise concordance stats? EverSince (talk) 13:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discordance

[edit]

There should be an explanation for what discordance is. For example:

  1. Discordance is when "Twin pairs do not share the same trait." Source: https://meddiction.com/knowledgebase/concordant-vs-discordant-twin-studies/)
  2. "The presence of a given genetic trait in only one member of a pair of identical twins" is discordance. Source: Twin study#DiscordanceAnchor-May_2019
(Note: This second definition seems flawed as discordance seems to apply both to genotype and phenotype, and to twins of any kind (not just identical twins), as far as I can tell.)
(Note2: I changed the article to reflect the actual definition discordance.)

Currently, "Discordance_(genetics)" redirects to "Twin study#DiscordanceAnchor-May_2019".

Once this is done, the page "Discordance_(genetics)" should redirect to this page (e.g. Concordance_(genetics)#Discordance, or something similar). — BootitooB (talk) 02:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
