title: Methods and applications of genetic analysis in the study of cardiovascular disease: a summary of contributions to GAW8.
abstract: The analyses of data provided for the cardiovascular disease section of Genetic Analysis Workshop 8 are briefly summarized. Methods using twin, segregation, and linkage analyses are used to determine, characterize, and localize genetic components involved in the etiology of cardiovascular disease and to explore the interaction of these components with known environmental risk factors.
