Title: Genetic Epidemiology and Disease Risk

Companies: Johns Hopkins University
Address: 615 N Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD, 21205, United States
Keywords: genetic epidemiology ; interaction ; multiple testing ; SNP ; correlation
Abstract:

This luncheon will discuss current topics in statistical genetics related to gene identification and risk estimation in the context of large-scale genotyping projects (e.g., >500,000 genetic markers). Example issues include what types of genetic markers to use (SNPs, haplotypes, tagging SNPs), how to accommodate the inherent correlation structure of these markers and the multiple testing concerns for large-scale projects, and how to assess higher-order interactions among many genes/markers simultaneously. Those without previous experience in genetics are welcome. We hope to make analogies to other fields of statistics that grapple with similar problems.
