Aim
The course focuses on theoretical background and practical issues in the genetic analysis of complex traits. It considers two main gene-finding approaches: model-free linkage studies, and pedigree-based association analyses. It also addresses the analysis of qualitative outcomes — such as diseases — and quantitative (or continuous) traits.
