Genetic Epidemiology
Genetic Epidemiology is the study of inherited genome variation that, either alone or in combination with factors in a person's environment or lifestyle, contributes to the risk of disease. These studies may focus on diseases that are transmitted through families, or on diseases that occur in the general population."

Relevant Courses
EPI 517 Genetic Epidemiology (3) Austin
Research methods for evaluating genetic influences on disease and risk factors and genetic-environmental interactions. Study designs and statistical methods include twin studies, family studies, population-based association studies, segregation analysis, and linkage analysis. Prerequisite: EPI 511, BIOST 511, and GENET 371, or equivalent. Offered: jointly with PHG 511.EPI 518 Computer Demonstrations in Genetic Epidemiology (2-4, max. 4) Edwards
Demonstrations and use of computer programs designed specifically for analysis of genetic epidemiologic data, including heritability, segregation, and sib-pair linkage analysis. Discussions focus on interpretation of results. Laboratory sections apply methods to data provided by instructor. Corequisite: EPI 517/PHG 511 or permission of instructor. Offered: jointly with PHG 518.
