A gene-centric approach to genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Genic variants are more likely to alter gene function and affect disease risk than those that occur outside genes. Variants in genes, however, might not be sufficiently covered by the existing approaches to genome-wide association studies. Our analysis of the HapMap ENCODE data indicates that this concern is valid, and that an alternative approach that focuses on genic variants provides a more complete coverage...
