Selected methodological issues in meiotic mapping of obesity genes in humans: issues of power and efficiency.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1997

Allison D B, Schork N J

Abstract excerpt

This paper focuses on methods for mapping novel obesity genes in humans via meiotic mapping techniques. By novel we mean genes that are as yet unidentified as playing a role in obesity. We begin by presenting a discussion of why we believe it is important to seek out novel obesity genes and, in particular, novel genes of small effect. In light of the arguably Herculean task of finding genes of small effect with...
