Evolving methods in genetic epidemiology. III. Gene-environment interaction in epidemiologic research.
Genetic epidemiology is increasingly focused on the study of common diseases with both genetic and environmental determinants. The concept of geneenvironment interaction is becoming a central theme in epidemiologic studies that assess causes of human disease in populations (1). Advances in genetic technology and the work of the Human Genome Project will make it easier for the study of gene-envi...
متن کاملGenetic linkage in schizophrenia: perspectives from genetic epidemiology.
Research on the genetic epidemiology of schizophrenia is briefly and selectively reviewed. The following three salient features of schizophrenia that represent challenges to the design of linkage studies are identified: (1) The analysis of twin and family data has consistently failed to identify a single major gene effect upon schizophrenia risk; (2) the ascertainment of multiplex families does...
متن کاملnon-parametric methods in genetic linkage analysis
one of the most important goals for researchers in the clinic is to try to find newer and more effective ways to diagnose and cure the diseases. these clinical advances can create new points of view in other sciences and their combination with basic sciences such as statistics can improve these researches. in statistical genetics, linkage analysis is a way of finding the exact locus of a diseas...
متن کاملEvolving methods in genetic epidemiology. I. Analysis of genetic and environmental factors in family studies.
Using family data (either sibships, nuclear families, or extended pedigrees) to test models of inheritance is the essence of human genetics. The rigor and precision of this testing process can range from a strictly observational process (eliminating simple single-locus models one at a time on individual pedigrees) through formal tests of hypotheses about the expected proportion of affected sibs...
متن کاملMethods for Genetic Linkage Analyses
Reports of the mapping and cloning of genes appear regularly in the major newspapers and lay magazines. The catalog of mapped and cloned human genes is being produced biannually as the report of the Human Gene Mapping workshops. In the latest report (McAlpine et al., 1988), over 1200 genes were hsted, of which half were c loned and over 2400 res t r ic t ionlength polymorphic locations were ide...
