Genetic epidemiological approaches in the study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Anastasia Iliadou1, Harold Snieder.   

Abstract

The importance of genetic factors for the susceptibility to disease has been widely recognized in the last years. Genes have been identified for monogenic diseases and the challenge lying ahead is the identification of genetic components of importance and the environments in which they are expressed for complex diseases, that is, multiple genetic factors act and interact with each other or environmental factors to add to the complexity. This paper gives a brief overview of some genetic epidemiological approaches, concepts and recent methodological developments related to the study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in twin and family studies.
