Funded Activity Summary

A complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying common diseases can only be achieved if all pathways at which genetic variation contributes to disease risk are identified. Most available methods to identify such predisposing genetic variation are adequately powered only when analysing data for many thousands of samples. We will develop more powerful statistical methods that can increase our ability to identify disease genes from large-scale association studies.
