Course | The course is intended for researchers directly involved in the statistical analysis of complex traits and disorders, and will primarily address the methods and applications of genetic association and linkage studies. It will consist of general lectures followed by hands-on computer-based workshops. It is an intermediate level course and some knowledge of genetics and statistics is a prerequisite. The topics covered are: Basic statistics, Population genetics, Genetic epidemiology, Linkage analysis, Association studies - family based and population based, Special issues in GWAS, QTL analysis, GxG and GxE, Analysis of CNVs, Genetic studies of complex traits in isolated populations, Meta-analysis of genetic studies, Sequence data and analysis of rare variants |
