Pooled DNA Genome-Wide Association Study of Multiple Ethnicities in INTERHEART
FY 2008-09
Summary
Whole genome association studies have recently been demonstrated to have the power to identify disease genes. Unfortunately, they remain quite expensive. The costs of such studies can be greatly reduced by combining of the DNAs of all the diseased patients and combining the DNAs of all the control individuals.
