Revisiting the Missing Heritability of Complex Diseases, Ten Years On

Event Details

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored the NHGRI workshop, Revisiting the Missing Heritability of Complex Diseases, Ten Years On, in Silver Spring, Maryland, on May 1–2, 2018. The goals of the workshop were to discuss what was has been learned since 2008, explore the value of identifying sources of missing heritability, and identify research that should be pursued to determine these sources.
