Understanding the effects of genes on human traits




Recent technological developments in genomics have revealed a large number of genetic influences on common complex diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, cancer or schizophrenia. However, discovering a genetic variant predisposing to a disease is only a first step. In a study published today in Nature Communications, Montreal researchers with colleagues from Texas, propose a novel approach for scanning the entire genome that will help us understand the effect of genes on human traits.
