Genetic polymorphism and clinical outcome: identification of individuals at risk of a poor clinical outcome.

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility and outcome in complex disorders such as asthma and cancer appear to be determined, at least in part, by genetic polymorphism. However, while our ability to identify new allelic variants and study them in case and control populations has greatly improved, considerable difficulties remain in elucidating how many genes determine particular clinical phenotypes. This is because most studies have...
