Pooled DNA Genome-Wide Association Study of Multiple Ethnicities in INTERHEART
EF 2008-09
Résumé
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 the DNAs of all the diseased patients and combining the DNAs of all the control individuals. We propose to use this approach on DNAs that have been collected from individuals from around the world who have had a heart attack. In this way, we will discover genetic variants that contribute to heart attack in different ethnicities.
