متن کاملComplex Multifactorial Genetic Diseases
A trait is often of interest by virtue of being either highly desirable, for example intelligence, or highly undesirable, for example cancer. Genetic influence over the trait can be established inmanyways including twin studies, clustering statistics and statistical modelling. Once the existence of a genetic component has been established, the next step is to locate the genes involved. The ease...
