On Sunday, August 17, deCODE published a new statistical method for increasing the information that can be derived from high-density genotyping, leveraging the genotypic data the company has already generated
on tens of thousands of participants in its gene discovery programs. In the above video, CEO Kari Stefansson, the company’s head statistician Augustine Kong, and Chief of Communications Edward Farmer talk about how this method works and why it may help deCODE to find rarer variants conferring risk of common diseases.
