The identification of the genetic basis of complex human diseases such as schizophrenia
and diabetes has proven difficult. In their Perspective, Risch and Merikangas propose that
we can best accomplish this goal by combining the power of the human genome project with
association studies, a method for determining the basis of a genetic disease.
