42 results about "Risk allele" patented technology

Risk allele: in the context of a disease, this is the allele that confers a risk of developing the disease. Most of the time, risk allele = minor allele, as most people will not carry the risk allele. However, in some case, the risk allele can in fact be the major allele.
