This chapter relates the analysis of population-based studies of associations between genetic polymorphism and disease to the established literature on the analysis of epidemiological casecontrol studies. Dealing with confounding by use of stratified analyses and regression methods is discussed. The possible influence of hidden population structure is compared with the more generic problem of unmeasured confounding in epidemiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
