Regulatory SNPs in complex diseases: their identification and functional validation.

Abstract excerpt

Finding the genetic causes for complex diseases is a challenge. Expression studies have shown that the level of expression of many genes is altered in disease compared with normal conditions, but what lies behind these changes? Linkage studies provide hints as to where in the genome the genetic triggers--the mutations--might be located. Fine-mapping and association studies can give yet more information about...
