Population choice in mapping genes for complex diseases.

Nature genetics - 1 Dec 1999

Wright A F, Carothers A D, Pirastu M

Abstract excerpt

The difficulty of identifying susceptibility genes for common diseases has polarized geneticists' views on what disease models are appropriate and how best to proceed once high-density genome maps become available. Different disease models have different implications for using linkage or linkage-disequilibrium-based approaches for mapping complex disease genes. We argue that the choice of study population is a...
