For decades, Mendelian inheritance - the idea of single genes causing specific diseases - was the cornerstone of genetics. However, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have revealed a more intricate story. This article delves into the world of GWAS and how they are revolutionizing our understanding of disease genes.We'll explore how GWAS analyze vast amounts of genetic data to identify subtle variations associated with increased disease risk. These variations often lie in non-coding DNA, which doesn't directly code for proteins, making their impact less obvious.Understanding complex genetic architecture, where multiple genes and environment play a role, is crucial for developing better diagnostics and targeted therapies.Join us as we explore the exciting world of GWAS, unveiling the complexities of disease genes and paving the way for a future of personalized medicine.
