Strategies in analysis of the genetic component of multifactorial diseases; biostatistical aspects.

Abstract excerpt

Complex polygenic and multifactorial diseases remain a challenge for human geneticists. Here we aim to remind basic definitions of multifactorial diseases and the genetic related concepts underlying classical methods. Knowledge on pathophysiological process and the genetic information available conditions the design of study. The choice of methodology, between candidate gene approach and genome scan approach,...
