Complex trait mapping in isolated populations: Are specific statistical methods required?

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we review the statistical methods that can be used in isolated populations to map genes involved in complex diseases. Our intention is to highlight the fact that if the features of population isolates may help in the identification of susceptibility factors for complex traits, the choice and design of methods for statistical analysis in these populations deserve particular care. We show that...
