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."
