title: Medical implications of understanding complex disease traits.
abstract: The application of genetic mapping to human disease gene identification has led to the definition of many linkages and a few disease genes in complex traits over the past two years. Its application has also increased to include aspects of pharmacogenetics relating to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
