Excerpt
Advances in molecular genetics have generated substantial progress in identifying the genetic basis ofMendelian diseases; however, the pace of discovery ofgenes for complex disorders has been less rapid (Glazieret al. 2002). The slow progress has generated considerable debate regarding optimal strategies and priorities forgenetic studies of complex human disorders...
