Challenges in identifying genetic risk factors for common multifactorial disorders.
- Authors
Phadke, Shubha R.
- Abstract
The author reflects on challenges in the identification of genetic risk factors for common multifactorial disorders. It says that aims of currently major research are to develop diagnostic tests to identify the individuals at high risk and to develop novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. However, it states that to get consistent and statistically significant results of association studies is difficult. Studies that bring out the difficulty in concluding about small contribution of a genetic polymorphism to a multifactorial disease are stated.
