The Brisbane Systems Genetics Study: genetical genomics meets complex trait genetics.
There is growing evidence that genetic risk factors for common disease are caused by hereditary changes of gene regulation acting in complex pathways. Clearly understanding the molecular genetic relationships between genetic control of gene expression and its effect on complex diseases is essential....
