This book covers the statistical models and methods that are used
to understand human genetics, following the historical and recent
developments of human genetics. Starting with Mendel's first
experiments to genome-wide association studies, the book describes
how genetic information can be incorporated into statistical models
to discover disease genes. All commonly used approaches in
statistical genetics (e.g. aggregation analysis, segregation,
linkage analysis, etc), are used, but the focus of the book is
modern approaches to association analysis. Numerous examples
illustrate key points throughout the text, both of Mendelian and
complex genetic disorders. The intended audience is statisticians,
biostatisticians, epidemiologists and quantitatively- oriented
geneticists and health scientists wanting to learn about
statistical methods for genetic analysis, whether to better analyze
genetic data, or to pursue research in methodology. A background in
intermediate level statistical methods is required. The authors
include few mathematical derivations, and the exercises provide
problems for students with a broad range of skill levels. No
background in genetics is assumed.
