Abstract excerpt
Most medical genetic studies seek to answer one of two questions: What genes are important in determining disease risk? and What alleles of a candidate gene confer excess risk? This article seeks to provide physicians with a practical approach to assessing articles on genetic topics, using examples from bone mineral density and related areas. First, this article reviews the essential features of meiosis, crossing...
