title: [Statistical approaches to gene mapping of human diseases].
abstract: Gene Mapping of human diseases, especially the complex genetic diseases, has been the difficulty and hotspot in medical genetics and gene study. In this article, the principle and application of several gene mapping methods are discussed, including linkage analysis (parametric and nonparametric linkage analysis), association study and linkage disequilibrium analysis.
