Using inbred mouse strains to identify genes for complex diseases.

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, genetic studies in humans have identified a handful of genes that are associated with common disorders, but our understanding of such diseases at the genetic level remains relatively rudimentary. The use of mice to dissect the complex genetic etiology of common disorders offers a viable alternative to human studies since experimental parameters, such as environmental influences, breeding scheme,...
