Abstract

Several research groups have begun mounting large, ambitious family studies to map genes for atherosclerosis, heart disease, and their major risk factors using whole genome linkage and/or disequilibrium scans. Some of the problems, pitfalls, and challenges of this exciting effort are examined and illustrated with lessons from an earlier mapping problem.
