Specific issues include: assessment of effect of family history on disease risk; measurement of genetic variation, genotyping errors and factors affecting these; study designs specially adapted to genetic epidemiology family based designs (e.g. case-parent trio, case-sib designs), case-only designs; candidate gene and genome-wide association approaches to genetic association; gene-environment and gene-gene interaction; Integration of evidence; evaluation of potential value of genetic information in screening (e.g. newborn screening), family history tools and genetic testing.
