Nina Holland is an associate adjunct professor of genetics and toxicology and director of the biorepository at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health. Her scientific interests include molecular epidemiology of children s health, cytogenetics, and reproductive toxicology.

In the present chapter we will first review basic concepts of epidemiological research and follow with a discussion of different types of biomarkers used in molecular epidemiology, and finally we will concentrate on the study of genetic susceptibility. In our discussion we will put special emphasis in the challenges that using such markers introduce when used at the population level. 

The challenge for molecular epidemiological studies on genetic susceptibility consists of identifying which of these genetic variants can contribute to disease risk and also identifying which ones can modify the effect of environmental exposures. Until now, the approach that most studies have taken to answer these questions has...
