Causal models in epidemiology: past inheritance and genetic future.

Environmental health : a global access science source - 21 Jul 2006

Vineis Paolo, Kriebel David

Abstract excerpt

The eruption of genetic research presents a tremendous opportunity to epidemiologists to improve our ability to identify causes of ill health. Epidemiologists have enthusiastically embraced the new tools of genomics and proteomics to investigate gene-environment interactions. We argue that neither the full import nor limitations of such studies can be appreciated without clarifying underlying theoretical models...
