DNA polymorphism and the study of disease associations

D N Cooper et al. Hum Genet. 1988 Apr.

Abstract

Recombinant DNA approaches to disease analysis may be as applicable to studies of disease association as they are to the analysis and diagnosis of single-gene defects. Population and/or family association analyses, using restriction fragment length polymorphisms around candidate genes as markers, have been employed to study conditions such as atherosclerosis and disease with an HLA-association. Progress made to date in disease-association studies using recombinant DNA methodology is reviewed, the rationale behind such studies is examined and associated problems and pitfalls discussed.
