Statistical genetics focuses on developing statistical methods and large-scale data sets to define the genetic basis of human traits and diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Genetic epidemiology studies how genetic and environmental factors contribute to human health, disease, and traits in populations and families.
Importantly, the identification of genetic variants that influence the risk of common human diseases helps researchers to improve diagnosis and prognosis, and to develop interventions including behavioral modifications and molecularly targeted therapies that can lead to improved patient outcomes.s
