How epidemiological cohort studies can better integrate physiological (mechanistic) measures;
How best to characterise subjects’ vulnerability versus resilience by moving beyond single genetic polymorphisms;
How gene hunters can benefit from recruiting samples selected for known exposures;
How environmental pathogens can be used as tools for gene hunting;
How to deal with potential spurious (statistical) interactions, and
How genes can help explain fundamental demographic properties of disorders (e.g. sex distribution, age effects).
