Genetic epidemiology of melanoma
European Journal of Dermatology, 2016The field of melanoma genetics is moving at great pace with new platforms to investigate single nucleotide polymorphism, genome sequencing, gene expression, and methylation. Melanoma incidence is still rising mainly because of screening campaigns, which has increased the number of reported melanomas. However, mortality due to melanoma is not decreasing.

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1983
AbstractFrom the papers in this symposium, an attempt is made to establish the scope and aim of genetic epidemiology. Specifically, its objective is seen as the elucidation of the role of genetic factors in the etiology of a disease whose distribution is related to individual genetic constitution and population genetic structure.

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 2010
Given the potential benefits of gene identification in psychiatry, genetic epidemiology has become a mainstream discipline within the field. This article discusses the main tools for gene discovery. The focus is on the designs and analytic approaches for each of these methods.

The genetic epidemiology of osteoarthritis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2010Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the elderly and is influenced by both genetic and environmental risk factors. The scope of the present article is to offer an overview of recent developments in the genetic epidemiology of knee and hip osteoarthritis, with particular emphasis on published genomewide association studies (GWAS ...

Epidemiology and Genetics of Epilepsy
Neurologic Clinics, 1994The objectives of this article are to present the classification of seizure disorders in population studies and family studies, the basic measures of occurrence and association that are used in genetic and epidemiologic studies, the frequencies of seizures and epilepsy in populations, the major acquired causes of epilepsy and the epidemiologic evidence

The genetic epidemiology of thinness
Obesity Reviews, 2001SummaryMost genetic research in the area of human obesity asks the question ‘Why are certain people obese?’ Considerably less attention has been paid to the question of why certain people are not obese, particularly given the obesogenic environment that permeates the western culture.

The genetic epidemiology of smoking
Nicotine & Tobacco Research, 1999The enormous personal and societal costs associated with tobacco are well documented. Unlike the large literature on the prevalence and consequences of tobacco use, there are fewer data on the genetic epidemiology (family, adoption, and twin studies) of tobacco use initiation and nicotine dependence.

The epidemiology and genetics of vitiligo
Clinics in Dermatology, 1997Commonly it is stated that about 1% of the world’s population has vitiligo vulgaris and that this prevalence is constant for all ethnic groups in all countries; however, the extant data do not confirm these assumptions. Several large studies have been done in Denmark and in India that suggest the prevalence is much lower than frequently purported.

Epidemiology and the Genetics of Psoriasis.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1994Several lines of compelling epidemiologic evidence indicate that susceptibility to psorasis is inherited, albeit not in a simple monogenic fashion. Psoriasis is one of a number of diseases with a presumed autoimmune pathogenesis that display significant human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations.

Epidemiology, genetics and sociology
Journal of Biosocial Science, 1984In the course of this century man's control over his natural environment and its effects has vastly increased. As a result, death rates from many illnesses caused by environmental factors have fallen markedly. This is very evident in the field of infant mortality.
