Description
Genetic epidemiology is an essential field for understanding how genes and environmental factors interact to influence health and disease. This textbook provides graduate students with a comprehensive introduction to genetic epidemiology research methods, covering key concepts, genomic technology, and study designs. The book explores various research methods, including family-based linkage analysis, candidate gene association studies, and statistical analyses of data from these studies. It also discusses the application of each method to real-world diseases and risk factors relevant to public health. Additionally, it highlights useful web-based genetic analysis software, human reference panels, and repositories that can facilitate this work. By covering both the technical aspects of genetic epidemiology research and its practical applications, this textbook is a valuable resource for graduate students in epidemiology and public health genetics.
