Q

Phenocopy Definition

A

Environmentally induced phenotype that is different to genetic phenotype

18
Q

Haplotype Definition

A

Group of alleles that are inherited as a block

19
Q

Haplotype detection power

A

Haplotypes better at detecting disease related genome regions that genotypes

20
Q

Association Analysis Definition

A

Detects association between genetic variants and disease by exploiting linkage disequilibrium

21
Q

Linkage Disequilibrium

A

The phenomenon where 2 markers are co-inherited

22
Q

Allelic Association Definition

A

Expression of different alleles in a population

23
