This book brings together contributions from experts from multiple disciplines who discuss: how epidemiological cohort studies can better integrate physiological (mechanistic) measures; how best to characterise subjects' vulnerability versus resilience by moving beyond single genetic polymorphisms; how gene hunters can benefit from recruiting samples selected for known exposures; how environmental pathogens can be used as tools for gene hunting; how to deal with potential spurious (statistical) interactions; and how genes can help explain fundamental demographic properties of disorders (e.g. sex distribution, age effects).
