The odds ratio closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is rare.
Odds ratio and the relative risk are used to assess the strength of association between risk factor and outcome.

EGAPP: Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention
Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Network (established in 2009) is a
GAPPNet collaborative initiative involving partners from across the public health sector working
together to realize the promise of genomics in health care and disease prevention.

Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet) (established in 1998) helps
translate genetic research findings into opportunities for preventive medicines and
public health by advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of
population-based data on human genetic variation in health and disease. HuGENet
HuGENet reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the epidemiologic aspects of
human genes, including prevalence of allelic variants in different populations,
population-based information on disease risk, evidence for gene-environment
interaction and quantitative data on genetic tests and services carried out according to
specific guidelines.

Phase 1—None of the current viruses circulating in animals have been reported to cause
infection in humans.
Phase 2—An animal-based influenza virus is known to have caused infection in humans

Phase 3—An animal- or human-animal-based virus has caused some clusters of cases in
people, but has not caused human-to-human transmission that is significant enough to
cause community-level outbreaks.
WHO Pandemic Phases Phase 4—Human-to-human transmission of an animal or human-animal virus is causing
community outbreaks and sustained disease. This is a significant shift in risk and any
country with such an outbreak should consult with WHO.
