Description

A variety of studies are used to identify genes that are on the pathway to simple and complex diseases. Rarely a precise candidate allele exists so markers thought to be in the appropriate region of the chromosome are studied. This session concerns the methods used to determine whether the markers associated with the disease and linked (very near) to the gene that is a cause of the disease.
