Genetic Epidemiology

Genetic Epidemiology is a human genetics journal covering the genetic causes behind the distribution of human traits in families and populations. The journal focuses on the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to human disease as revealed by genetic, epidemiological, and biologic investigations. It is the official journal of the International Genetic Epidemiology Society and primarily publishes papers in statistical genetics, including bioinformatical and computational models for analyzing genetic data.
