Search for multifactorial disease susceptibility genes in founder populations.

Abstract excerpt

The current challenge in biomedical research is to detect genetic risk factors involved in common complex diseases. The power to detect their role is generally poor in populations that have been large for a long time. It has been suggested that the power may be increased by taking advantage of the specificity of founder populations: linkage disequilibrium spanning larger regions and kinship coefficients being...
