Steps in Genetic Research of Complex Disease
Journal Title: Global Journal of Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Many of our most common diseases are complex disorders, run in families, but they lack the simple inheritance patterns characteristics of single gene disorders. Complex diseases have low heritability compared to single gene disorders. Understanding the genetic factors underlying common disorders is a difficult but critical task because each genetic and environmental factor can contribute towards small risks. This review article will talk about steps in genetic research of complex disorders.
