Genes, environment and the value of prospective cohort studies.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Oct 2006

Manolio Teri A, Bailey-Wilson Joan E, Collins Francis S

Abstract excerpt

Case-control studies have many advantages for identifying disease-related genes, but are limited in their ability to detect gene-environment interactions. The prospective cohort design provides a valuable complement to case-control studies. Although it has disadvantages in duration and cost, it has important strengths in characterizing exposures and risk factors before disease onset, which reduces important...
