Definition of phenotype.

Advances in genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Wojczynski Mary K, Tiwari Hemant K

Abstract excerpt

Definition of the phenotype is crucial in designing any genetic study, especially an association study, intended to detect the disease predisposing genes. In this chapter, we review the different types of phenotypes such as discrete or continuous and discuss the issues impacting on the phenotype definition related to study design, specifically, the impact of diagnostic error (misclassification) in case-control...
