Genetic Epidemiology is a peer-reviewed journal for discussion of research on the genetic causes of the distribution of human traits in families and populations. Emphasis is placed on the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to human disease as revealed by genetic, epidemiological, and biologic investigations.

Genetic epidemiology is the study of the role of genetic factors in determining health and disease in families and in populations, and the interplay of such genetic factors with environmental factors. Genetic epidemiology seeks to derive a statistical and quantitative analysis of how genetics work in …

Genetic Epidemiology is the study of how genetic factors contribute to health and disease in families and populations, and how genes interplay with environmental factors. In the “post-genomic era” where large amounts of genetic data are now readily available, it has become increasingly important to design studies and analytical techniques ...

Genetic Epidemiology is a human genetics journal addressing the distribution of human traits, with a focus on human disease. We primarily publish statistical genetics papers.

2025年2月9日 · Genetic epidemiology is a field of science focused on the study of how genetic factors influence human traits, such as human health and disease. In many cases, the interaction of genes with the environment is also measured.

Genetic epidemiology has the potential to significantly impact human health. Here, we examine the major developments in the field’s history and the current state of the field, including both promising avenues of research and potential challenges genetic epidemiologists face.

Genetic epidemiology, the study of how genes and environmental factors influence human traits and human health and disease. Genetic epidemiology developed initially from population genetics, specifically human quantitative genetics, with conceptual and methodological contributions from

2024年9月24日 · Genetic variants that contribute to complex phenotypes include rare, highly penetrant mutations; common variants (such as those that increase susceptibility to disorders or are associated with drug response); and combinations of variants that together contribute to a polygenic risk score (Ritz et al. 2017; Black 2016; Pang et al. 2023 ...

From this definition, the new field of genetic epidemiology evolved, drawing methods and tools from epidemiology, biostatistics, and genetics to analyze the rapidly expanding forms of genetic data from families and population-based samples to address essential questions of genetic aggregation and susceptibility and to identify causal genomic var...

Genetic epidemiology uses disparate data from bioinformatics, population genetics, epidemiology, and molecular genetics to elucidate roles for genes and their interactions with environment in the occurrence of disease in populations (14).
