This Human Genetic Analysis Resource will facilitate the identification, mapping and characterization of genes that cause complex diseases in man. The Resource will provide services and expertise in human genetic analysis to research workers investigating the familial nature of such diseases. Further statistical methods of analysis and study designs will be developed for this purpose, and well-documented, userfriendly computer programs prepared that can be easily tailored to the needs of other human geneticists and epidemiologists. Theoretical developments will include studies of validity, power and robustness of all procedures developed. Methods of association, segregation and linkage analysis will allow for, e.g., nonnormality, multifactorially caused familial correlations, measured and non-measured environmental effects, both Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetic effects, and non-random sampling. Consulting services in the use of these methods will be provided, and the methods will be applied in collaborative research to several broad areas, including cancer, pulmonary/ cardiovascular diseases, ophthalmologic diseases, neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, and renal diseases. Human genetic analysts will be trained at the pre- and post-doctoral levels, and short courses given, both nationally and internationally, to train people in statistical analysis for genetic epidemiology and in the use of the computer programs that will be developed. Information about the Resource and its activities will be broadly disseminated at national and international meetings and by maintaining a home page on the World Wide Web.

这种人类遗传分析资源将有助于识别，映射和表征 引起人类复杂疾病的基因。该资源将提供人类的服务和专业知识 对研究此类疾病的家族性质的研究工作者的遗传分析。进一步的统计 为此目的将开发分析和研究设计的方法，并有据可查，用户友好 准备的计算机程序可以轻松根据其他人类遗传学家的需求量身定制 和流行病学家。理论发展将包括对所有有效性，权力和鲁棒性的研究 制定了程序。关联，分离和链接分析方法将允许，例如非正态性， 多因素引起的家族相关性，测量和未测量的环境影响， Mendelian和非孟德尔遗传效应以及非随机抽样。咨询服务 将提供这些方法的使用，该方法将在协作研究中应用于几个 广泛的地区，包括癌症，肺/心血管疾病，眼科疾病，神经系统疾病 疾病，自身免疫性疾病和肾脏疾病。 人类遗传分析师将在博物前后培训，并给予简短的课程，并给予简短的课程 在国内外 使用将开发的计算机程序。有关资源及其活动的信息将 在国家和国际会议上广泛传播，并在 全球资讯网。
