Comments:
I teach the course BIOE 824, Genetic Epidemiology: Methods and Applications,
in the Fall semester. The course includes methods for population- and
family-based studies of genotype-phenotype associations, statistical techniques
related to segregation analysis, linkage analysis and transmission disequilibrium
test (TDT), approaches for assessing gene-gene and/or gene-environment
interaction, procedures for evaluating ethical, legal, social issues and
public health implications of research and interventions. Emphasis is
placed on distinguishing the appropriate applications, underlying assumptions,
and reasonable interpretations of the methods presented.
