Over the last decade, advances in microarray technologies have made gene expression studies increasingly reliable and accessible. These developments have dramatically enhanced the potential for complex gene expression analysis. This invention provides the ability to integrate gene expression data with epidemiologic data. Such analyses can assist in providing diagnostic and prognostic information and profiling disease susceptibility.
