Brief description We have pioneered the use of multi-marker statistical genetic methods in human genetics to elucidate the genetic architecture of complex traits, including common diseases. We have shown that between a third and a half of additive genetic variation is captured by common genetic variants, leaving two-thirds to a half truly ‘missing’. In this proposal we will test our hypothesis that the still-missing heritability is due to low frequency causal variants. Applications of genomic medicine require this fundamental knowledge to progress fully.
