See/download the final announcement! Meet the Professor André Uitterlinden Complex Genetics: study design and genotyping techniques Outline of topics Genetic analysis of complex diseases such as osteoporosis, has made substantial progress through accomplishments of the Human Genome project and its sequela (dbSNP, HapMap), novel technological developments, changes in study designs and importantly collaborative efforts. The most recent ones are the combination of the Genome Wide Association (GWA) approach with formation of large consortia of investigators. This combined approach has been highly successful in several complex diseases including for osteoporosis for which several risk loci have now been identified. This workshop will address approaches, pitfalls and progress in identifying genetic markers for bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Topics to be covered
Educational goals
Target Audience This workshop is aimed at people at all levels: medical graduate students, basic researchers (PhD student, postdocs, staff), technicians, clinical investigators, practising clinicians. Teaching methods A brief overview of the field and the topics mentioned will be given, allowing much space for questions form the audience. The discussion will be informal and interactive by Socratic questioning.
