RE: Phenotype of parents
You simply treat it as any other phenotype. You can simply say that
having a parent with a dx carries one unit of genetic+phenotype
risk. Thus a subject with one parent with DX has a genetic risk
score as 1, a subject with both parents affected has a genetic risk
score of 2. You can also expand this to more distant relatives e.g.
assign a genetic risk score of 0.5 to each of the grandparents
affected with the illness and so on. Then you can run heritability
on this trait. It will explain the proportion of additive genetic
variance in the total risk score.
