Chapters assume no specialist knowledge or technical background and discuss a framework for investigating genetic determinants in complex human diseases such as diabetes and asthma; the basic theory and methods of linkage and association studies; linkage analysis and family-based methods used to map genetic loci that predispose disease; association analysis and design methods for studies; and the structure of the human genome as related to single nucleotide polymorphisms and linkage disequilibrium and application to mapping disease genes. They also cover optimal study designs and characteristics; international biobanking initiatives; and the application of genetic epidemiology in population health and genomic profiling, personalized medicine, and new approaches like Mendelian randomization.
