Title: Identification of disease causing loci using an array-based genotyping approach on pooled DNA Published: September 30, 2005 Publication: BMC Genomics

Authors: Craig DW, Huentelman MJ, Hu-Lince D, Zismann VL, Kruer MC, Lee AM, Puffenberger EG, Pearson JM, Stephan DA

Abstract:
Pooling genomic DNA samples within clinical classes of disease followed by genotyping on whole-genome SNP microarrays, allows for rapid and inexpensive genome-wide association studies. Key to the success of these studies is the accuracy of the allelic frequency calculations, the ability to identify false-positives arising from assay variability and the ability to better resolve association signals through analysis of neighbouring SNPs.

Help us to continue to provide patients with timely, affordable and effective care!

Our clinic serves as a trusted medical home for families working to prevent and treat genetic illness in their children. Serving predominantly Amish and Mennonite families, the sturdy, timber-framed building was "raised" by the hands of those in the Anabaptist community outside of Strasburg, PA. Inside the clinic is filled with an array of high-tech gene sequencing that allows us to deliver state of the art care in a nurturing environment.
