TL;DR
The PMRP database will allow research in three areas: genetic epidemiology, pharmacogenetics, and population genetics, and the size and the stability of the population as well as the relative ethnic homogeneity will help facilitate longitudinal studies with valid research results that are not biased by population stratification.
Abstract
The PMRP database will allow research in three areas: genetic epidemiology, pharmacogenetics, and population genetics. The size and the stability of the population as well as the relative ethnic homogeneity will help facilitate longitudinal studies with valid research results that are not biased by population stratification.

13,208 Citations1953James Dewey Watson, Francis Crick
The determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), with its two entwined helices and paired organic bases, was a tour de force in X-ray crystallography and opened the way for a deeper understanding of perhaps the most important biological process.
Nature GeneticsMeta-analysis of genetic association studies supports a contribution of common variants to susceptibility to common disease
1,904 Citations2003Kirk E. Lohmueller, Celeste Leigh Pearce +3 more
It is concluded that there are probably many common variants in the human genome with modest but real effects on common disease risk, and that studies using large samples will convincingly identify such variants.

These issues are discussed, together with suggestions for optimal post-genome strategies, which are being presented for unravelling the complex genetic basis of non-mendelian disorders based on large-scale genome-wide studies.

It is found that over 600 positive associations between common gene variants and disease have been reported; these associations, if correct, would have tremendous importance for the prevention, prediction, and treatment of most common diseases.

A database of 101 studies of complex human disease, found by a systematic Medline search, suggests that no single study design consistently produces more-significant results and suggests that the only factors independently associated with increased study success are an increase in the number of individuals studied and study of a sample drawn from only one ethnic group.

Nature GeneticsAdditional SNPs and linkage-disequilibrium analyses are necessary for whole-genome association studies in humans
317 Citations2003Christopher S. Carlson, Michael A. Eberle +4 more
It is suggested that using all 2.7 million SNPs currently in the database would detect nearly 80% of all common SNPs in European populations but only 50% of those common in the African American population and that efficient selection of a minimal subset of SNPs for use in association studies requires measurement of allele frequency and linkage disequilibrium relationships for allSNPs in dbSNP.
