Sommario/riassunto

Genetic Analysis of Complex Diseases, Third Edition provides a



comprehensive introduction to the various strategies, designs, and methods of analysis for the study of human complex genetic disease. It offers a broad-based understanding of the problems and solutions based on successful applications in the design and execution of gene mapping projects. Chapters present clear and easily referenced overviews of the broad range of considerations involved in genetic analysis of human complex genetic disease, including design, sampling, data collection, linkage and association studies, and social, legal, and ethical issues. These studies promise a greater understanding of the genetic basis of common disorders, improved ability to detect risk factors, and development of new treatment strategies. The new edition of Genetics Analysis of Complex Disease is a unique and much needed resource as more and more clinical researchers are increasingly adopting a genetic perspective to investigate disease etiology, diagnostics, and prognostics.
