A candidate gene is a gene whose chromosomal location is associated with a particular disease or other phenotype. Because of its location, the gene is suspected of causing the disease or other phenotype.
What is a candidate gene approach?
The candidate-gene approach can be defined as the study of the genetic influences on a complex trait by: generating hypotheses about, and identifying candidate genes that might have a role in, the aetiology of the disease; identifying variants in or near those genes that might either cause a change in the protein or ...
How do you identify a candidate gene?
A candidate gene is defined as a gene that is identified either by its protein product that suggests that it could be the determinant of the disease in question (a biological candidate), or by its position in a chromosomal region that has been linked with the disease (positional candidate).
