Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (original) (raw)

Nature Genetics volume 39, pages 813–815 (2007)Cite this article

Genome-wide association studies, exemplified by the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium and follow-up studies, have identified dozens of common variants robustly associated with common diseases, providing new clues about genetic architecture in humans. Finding all such loci, and fully defining genotype-phenotype correlation, will be a key to translating initial clues into pathophysiological understanding and clinical prediction.
