Complex genetic diseases: controversy over the Croesus code.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2001

Wright A F, Hastie N D

Abstract excerpt

The polarization of views on how best to exploit new information from the Human Genome Project for medicine reflects our ignorance of the genetic architecture underlying common diseases: are susceptibility alleles common or rare, neutral or deleterious, few or many? Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology is almost in place to dissect such diseases and to create a personalized medicine, but success is...
