"Elucidating the Genetic Architecture of Complex Disorders: Challenges and New Approaches"
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
1:00 PM-3:00 PM
The A.J. Drexel Autism
Institute and the Drexel iSchool invite you to attend a lecture featuring
Dr. Sarah Pendergrass, who will present "Elucidating the Genetic
Architecture of Complex Disorders: Challenges and New Approaches".
A clear
understanding of the genetic etiology of complex traits and disorders,
including Autism Spectrum Disorders, is still limited. Genome-wide association
studies (GWAS) have provided some information about the contribution of genetic
variation to various traits, however, other approaches are necessary for
further discovery. This talk will describe the application of novel tools and
analyses for exploring the relationship between genetic variation and complex
outcomes.
