Genetic epidemiologic studies have provided critical insights into the etiology of both rare and common skin diseases. Designs for these studies are distinct from those generally employed in epidemiologic studies. Here, we review the types of data collected for various genetic epidemiologic designs, inherent strengths and weaknesses, and their similarities to more classic epidemiologic methods. Examples from the study of skin diseases are provided to highlight the successful application of these methods.
