Summary:Chapter 8 dealt with the origins and evolution of LD and Chapter 9 with cohort and case-control designs for testing associations between a disease and a genetic marker, which could be applied to proposed causal (candidate) genes or to markers not thought to be causal themselves but perhaps in LD with a causal gene being sought. We now turn our attention to the latter use of association studies as a means of further localizing the region containing a still undiscovered mutation.
