Addressing genetic heterogeneity in complex disease: finding seizure genes in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Abstract excerpt

Complex genetic disease is inherently difficult to study due to an imperfect relationship between genotype and phenotype. One important reason for this imperfect relationship is genetic heterogeneity, the occurrence of different genetic factors underlying the same clinical syndrome. One method of addressing genetic heterogeneity is covariate-based linkage analysis, which allows the use of additional phenotypic...
