Translating these successes into finding genes involved in complex traits has been problematic. The main challenges are that complex traits are comprised of multiple genes of varying effect sizes and that epistatic interactions among multiple genes and the environment contribute to the phenotype. The objective of this research is to investigate alternative strategies for mapping complex traits. 000000188 540__ $$fCC BY 000000188 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000188 650__ $$aEpidemiologic Research Design$$028334 000000188 650__ $$aMicroarray Analysis$$035790 000000188 650__ $$aGene Dosage$$030962 000000188 650__ $$aChromosome Mapping$$016681 000000188 650__ $$aAlzheimer Disease$$014513 000000188 650__ $$aGene Expression$$028717 000000188 650__ $$aPolymorphism, Single Nucleotide$$032570 000000188 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000188 692__ $$aDepartment of Molecular and Medical Genetics$$041428 000000188 7001_ $$aWilmot, Beth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000188 7201_ $$aKramer, Patricia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000188 7201_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000188 8564_ $$90cb8ecb0-c86f-4ca7-beef-6f5ec6113e55$$s3776688$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/188/files/188_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2d41d42eb96482990a1d0bc289755e071$$31 000000188 905__ $$a/rest/prod/z3/16/q1/56/z316q156s 000000188 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:188$$pstudent-work 000000188 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
