Genetic Epidemiology

Genetic epidemiology examines the effect of genetic variation on a disease or a health-related outcome. Since 2007, genome wide association studies have been widely used to detect associations between genetic variants and a disease or a health-related outcome in populations. It has facilitated a wide range of discoveries in the genetic epidemiology field. Genetic epidemiology is used in a large amount of the applied research in the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (IEU) and throughout Population Health Sciences at the University of Bristol Medical School.
