Coverage and power in genomewide association studies.
American journal of human genetics - 1 May 2006
Jorgenson Eric, Witte John S
Abstract excerpt
The ability of genomewide association studies to decipher genetic traits is driven in part by how well the measured single-nucleotide polymorphisms "cover" the unmeasured causal variants. Estimates of coverage based on standard linkage-disequilibrium measures, such as the average maximum squared correlation coefficient (r2), can lead to inaccurate and inflated estimates of the power of genomewide association...
