The International Genetic Epidemiology Society (IGES) is concerned with "The study of genetic components in complex biological phenomena" according to James V. Neel, the founding President of the Society. The successful mapping of the human genome will greatly facilitate the study of health and disease in a manner that integrates both host and environmental factors. IGES is devoted to the development of the methodology to permit such types of studies and the application of these approaches in human populations.
