Using genomic data to make indirect (and unauthorized) estimates of disease risk.

Public health genomics - 1 Jan 2012

Nyholt D R

Abstract excerpt

The number of genetic factors associated with common human traits and disease is increasing rapidly, and the general public is utilizing affordable, direct-to-consumer genetic tests. The results of these tests are often in the public domain. A combination of factors has increased the potential for the indirect estimation of an individual's risk for a particular trait. Here we explain the basic principals...
