The field of Genetic Epidemiology has historically focused on the inheritance of genetic factors and phenotypes within families. However, the increase in ever improving technologies brought a shift from familial study designs to genome wide association studies (GWAS) utilizing samples of unrelated individuals. While GWAS has yielded greater knowledge of genomic structure and disease associated variants... Read More
Workshop Goals
This workshop will focus on the use of family studies in the hunt for disease associated genes, include the development of novel methodologies and statistics for assessing variant disease relationships as well as the important role of the family study design in a clinical sequencing setting.
