What is included with this book?
An up-to-date and complete treatment of the strategies, designs and analysis methods for studying complex genetic disease in human beings
In the newly revised Third Edition of Genetic Analysis of Complex Diseases, a team of distinguished geneticists delivers a comprehensive introduction to the most relevant strategies, designs and methods of analysis for the study of complex genetic disease in humans. The book focuses on concepts and designs, thereby offering readers a broad understanding of common problems and solutions in the field based on successful applications in the design and execution of genetic studies.
This edited volume contains contributions from some of the leading voices in the area and presents new chapters on high-throughput genomic sequencing, copy-number variant analysis and epigenetic studies. Providing clear and easily referenced overviews of the considerations involved in genetic analysis of complex human genetic disease, including sampling, design, data collection, linkage and association studies and social, legal and ethical issues.
Genetic Analysis of Complex Diseases also provides:
This latest edition of Genetic Analysis of Complex Diseases is a must-read resource for molecular biologists, human geneticists, genetic epidemiologists and pharmaceutical researchers. It is also invaluable for graduate students taking courses in statistical genetics or genetic epidemiology.
William K. Scott, PhD, is Professor at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine where he teaches design and analysis of human genomic studies. He has authored over 200 peer-reviewed articles on the genetic epidemiology of complex traits.
Marylyn D. Ritchie, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine. She is also the Director of the Center for Translational Bioinformatics in the Institute for Biomedical Informatics. She has authored over 350 peer-reviewed articles on statistical genetics, translational bioinformatics, and biomedical informatics.
