Abstract excerpt
A primary goal of genetic association studies is to elucidate genes and novel biological mechanisms involved in disease. Recently, genome-wide association studies have identified many common genetic variants that are significantly associated with complex diseases such as cancer. In contrast to Mendelian disorders, a sizable fraction of the variants lies outside known protein-coding regions; therefore,...
