• Assessing whether a reported genetic association is real True positive The RANTES-403A allele and the co-segregating TLR4 299Gly/399Ile alleles may directly cause increased coronary atherosclerosis and increased risk of MI, respectively.
• Genetic association is currently a hot topic, although for me thelinkage analysis mathematically at least as challenging, because you are then looking at families, and even generations.
• There are many reasons identified for nonreplication, and an instance of the problematic nature of genetic association is, for example, that in atherosclerosis few DNA markers are routinely in use, such as in risk stratification.
• govGenetic association is a powerful method for identifying genetic variants that contribute to the molecular basis of complex diseases.
• Although no statistically significant genetic association is seen in adults, a highly significant genetic association is observed in children.
