Researchers want to investigate the genetic factors influencing Type 2 Diabetes by scanning the entire genome for variations associated with the disease. Which method should they use?
Scientists observe that a single genetic mutation appears to influence multiple health outcomes, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. They investigate these associations by scanning for all possible phenotypic effects of this one genetic variant. What is this method called?
A researcher discovers a genetic variant that appears to influence body mass index (BMI). To explore the variant’s impact on multiple health outcomes, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, which approach should be used?
