1. Modeling genetic susceptibility to multiple sclerosis
Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate genetic and environmental factors and their role in the etiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by using comprehensive registry data or novel computationally intense methods. To date, over 100 genes associated with MS have been identified, but how they interact in the risk for the disease is not yet fully understood. LÄS MER
2. Models for Additive and Sufficient Cause Interaction
