Abstract excerpt

When studying genetics of complex diseases it is important to have a clearly described and objective phenotype. When drawing conclusions in association studies, age and gender of the population should be considered. Until we know what causes phenotypic differences between males and females and between children and adults, we should try to study longitudinal cohorts with phenotype assessment at different time...
