Progress and promise in understanding the genetic basis of common diseases.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Dec 2015

Price Alkes L, Spencer Chris C A, Donnelly Peter

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility to common human diseases is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The explosive growth of genetic data, and the knowledge that it is generating, are transforming our biological understanding of these diseases. In this review, we describe the technological and analytical advances that have enabled genome-wide association studies to be successful in identifying a large number of...
