Contents:

Genetic diversity -- Defining complex disease -- How to investigate complex disease genetics -- Why investigate complex disease genetics -- Statistical analysis in complex disease : study planning and data handling -- The major histocompatibility complex -- Genetics of infectious disease -- Pharmacogenetics -- Cancer as a complex disease : genetic factors affecting cancer susceptibility and cancer treatment -- Genetic studies on susceptibility to diabetes -- Ethical, social, and personal consequences -- Sequencing technology and the future of complex disease genetics.

Summary: Genetics of Complex Disease examines how the identification of genetic variations that increase or reduce the risk of common, genetically complex, diseases can be used to improve our understanding of the pathology of many common diseases; enable better patient management and care; and help with differential diagnosis. It starts with the quest
