The mapping of disease genes to specific loci has received a great deal of attention in the
last decade, and many advances in therapeutics have resulted. Here we review family-
based and population-based methods for association analysis. We define the factors that
determine statistical power and show how study design and analysis should be designed to
maximize the probability of localizing disease genes.
