Abstract
Complex traits are multifactorial phenotypes and are the result of numerous genes, environmental factors, and their interactions. The genetic dissection of complex traits has accelerated recently with advances in genomic technologies. In pharmacogenomics, the complexity of the processes that affect drug response and toxicity makes the selection of the right phenotype for study challenging. Once the right phenotype is selected, the genetic contribution to the trait is estimated using familial aggregation and heritability studies. This is followed by established methods of linkage or association analysis to identify the genetic variant associated with the trait. This chapter outlines the basic principles of population genetics and the analytic methods used in relating DNA sequence variation to drug response.
