## Abstract More than a decade after Duncan Thomas gave his presidential address at the International Society for Genetic Epidemiology entitled “Genetic Epidemiology with a Capital E,” genetic epidemiology has gone mainstream. Epidemiology has taken its place not only in gene discovery studies but

## Editorial: Genetic Epidemiology Genetic epidemiology arose from the field of population genetics. Fisher, Haldane, and Wright set out the mathematical underpinnings of modern population genetics and a vigorous branch of genetics developed. As long as human and medical genetics was based on phen
## Abstract Mapping of the human genome has the potential to transform the traditional methods of genetic epidemiology. The complete draft sequence of the 3.3 billion nucleotides comprising the genome is now available over the Internet, including the location and nearly complete sequence of the 26,
Copper incorporation studies were performed on individuals from 58 pedigrees, comprising 140 sibships. As previously reported, there is considerable overlap between heterozygotes and normal homozygotes. Segregation analysis supports recessive inheritance of disease, with residual heritability for @C
Segregation analysis favors a gene additive on liability with a frequency of 0.022, which is nearly recessive on the penetrance scale. Less than one-eighth of DR3 and DR7 haplotypes carry a determinant for coeliac disease. There is significant excess of DR3/7 heterozygotes among patients, indicating
