This vignette demonstrates how to analyze familial resemblance for twins using the {}-package and is accompanying the review by Scheike and Holst (2020).
We consider a data-set in that resembles the data of that were based on the NorTwinCan a collaborative research project studying the genetic and environmental components of prostate cancer. The data comprises around 18,000 DZ twins and 11,000 MZ twins. It was a population based register study based on the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish twin registries.
We first illustrate a hazards based analysis to show how one would study dependence in survival data. This needs to be done under assumptions about independent competing risks when the outcome of interest is observed subject to competing risks (here death).
This seems reasonable here since the occurrence of cancer prior to death only contains weak association with the risk of death for the other twin, and vice-versa.
First looking at the data
library(mets)
set.seed(122)
data(prt)
dtable(prt,~status+cancer)
#>
#> cancer 0 1
#> status
#> 0 21283 0
#> 1 6997 0
#> 2 0 942
dtable(prt,~zyg+country,level=1)
#>
#> zyg
#> DZ MZ
#> 17991 11231
#>
#> country
#> Denmark Finland Norway Sweden
#> 9671 3926 4107 11518
we see that there are 21283 censorings and 6997 deaths (prior to cancer) and a total of 942 prostate cancers. Approximately half the data consist of DZ twins. In addition we see that there are around 10000 twins from Denmark and Sweden, and only 4000 from Norway and Finland, respectively.
Under assumption of random effects acting independently on different cause specific hazards we can analyse competing risks data considering the cause-specific hazard. Typically, this can be questionable and the cumulative incidence modelling below does not rely on this assumption.
We consider the cause specific hazard of cancer in the competing risks model with death and cancer.
First estimating the marginal hazards for each country.
# Marginal Cox model here stratified on country without covariates
margph <- phreg(Surv(time,cancer)~strata(country)+cluster(id),data=prt)
plot(margph)
We see that the marginal of Denmark in particular is quite different.
Then we fit a two-stage random effects models with country specific marginals and random-effects variances that differ for MZ and DZ twins.

The dependence of MZ twins is much stronger, and is summarized by a variance at \(5.42\) in contrast to the \(DZ\) variance at \(1.32\).
Now we look at the polygenic modelling for survival data, here applied to the cause specific hazards.

The DE model fits quite well. In summary all shared variance is due to genes and there is no suggestion of a shared environmental effect.
First we estimate the concordance of joint prostate cancer. The two-twins are censored at the same time, otherwise we would enforce this in the data by artificially censor both twins at the first censoring time. Given, however, that we have the same-censoring assumption satisfied we can do the stanadar Aalen-Johansen product-limit estimator of the concordance probabilities for MZ and DZ twins.
For simplicity we do not do this for each country even though as we show there are big differences between the countries.

The standard errors above are slightly off since they only reflect the uncertainty from the concordance estimation. This can be improved by doing specific calculations for a specific time-point uisng the binomial regression function that gives and iid decomposition for the paramters. We thus apply the binomial regression to estimate the concordance as well as the marginal, and combine the iid decompositions when estimating the standard error. We also do this ignoring country differences.

It can be useful also to simply model the concordance given covariates, and in this case we might find it important to adjust for country, or to see if the differences between MZ and DZ are comparable across contries even though clearly DK has a much lower cumulative incidence of prostate cancer.
