Background:

High-quality genetic markers and dense human genetic maps have advanced significantly.
These developments enable novel approaches for gene mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline and discuss new strategies for mapping disease-causing and disease-susceptibility genes.
To highlight the application of these strategies in genetic research.

Main Methods:

Utilizing homozygosity mapping.
Employing DNA pooling techniques.
Leveraging linkage disequilibrium analysis.
