Abstract:

The development of statistical methods focused on the analysis of genetic or molecular profiling data has been extensive in the last 10 years. A number of recent studies have demonstrated the power of integrating genotypic, molecular profiling and clinical data to elucidate human disease and drug response and have resulted in the identification of a number of genes and gene networks associated with these complex traits. Underlying these integrative genomics approaches are a number of fairly simple statistical procedures that simultaneously consider orthogonal data from a number of sources. We describe these novel approaches that take a more holistic view of biological systems (versus a reductionist view), characterize the extent of discovery resulting from their application, and discuss ways to enhance the statistical methods to achieve even greater power in such studies.
