Chance or Causality in Human Genetics?
Received Date: September 23, 2019; Published Date: September 26, 2019
Abstract
Deciding whether events are due to causal effects or only arise by chance is one of the most important judgements to make in the research laboratory (and possibly in daily life as well). In genetics random events are supposed to occur at the separation of alleles into germ cells at meiosis and at fusion of germ cells during fertilization; and causal events occur with diseases arising from a point mutation such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia.
