Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Complex diseases are generally thought to be under the influence of one or more mutated risk genes as well as genetic and environmental factors. Many traditional methods have been developed to identify susceptibility genes assuming a single-gene disease model ('single-locus methods'). Pathway-based approaches, combined with traditional methods, consider the joint effects of genetic factor and biologic...
