Measuring environmental factors can enhance the search for disease causing genes?

Journal of epidemiology and community health - 1 Jul 2004

Dwyer T, Ponsonby A-L, Stankovich J, Blizzard L, Easteal S

Abstract excerpt

The value of the concurrent measurement of environmental factors in studies aimed at the discovery of disease causing genes has been questioned on the grounds that such an approach fails to increase study power. This report discusses the issue and shows with examples from the recent literature that the examination of a gene disease association within an environmental subgroup can provide enhanced opportunities...
