Course
The course is intended primarily for researchers working in the statistical analysis of genetic association studies. It is an intermediate level course and knowledge of both the genetic and statistical basis of association studies is a prerequisite. The workshops will consist of practical examples of statistical analysis and will be performed on PCs, so knowledge of the Windows operating system is also required.

The course format is Gordon Conference Style (this methodology facilitates informal discussions among teachers and students)
