The document discusses genetic research into the causes of human diseases. It notes that common risk factors identified through genome-wide association studies fail to explain most of the hereditary factors for diseases. Other factors like rare variants, copy number variants, and gene expression may contribute more to the "missing heritability" than previously thought. Later genome-wide studies have identified more associations with rare variants and copy number polymorphisms. Understanding the combined effects of various genetic factors could help explain more of the hereditary risk for common diseases.
3. ¡°it is now clear that common risk variants fail to
explain the vast majority of genetic heritability for any
human disease¡±
