deCODE: A Genealogical Approach to Human Genetics in Iceland
Abstract The identification of genes contributing to diseases provides the most direct method for discovering the rate‐limiting molecular pathways involved in their pathogenesis. deCODE has built a system of information in Iceland, linking medical information from patients who have given them specif...

| Summary: | Abstract The identification of genes contributing to diseases provides the most direct method for discovering the rate‐limiting molecular pathways involved in their pathogenesis. deCODE has built a system of information in Iceland, linking medical information from patients who have given them specific informed consent, disease by disease, to a nation‐wide genealogy database and their molecular genetic information. |
