Abstract excerpt
A two-stage association study is the most commonly used method to efficiently identify disease susceptibility genes. However, some recent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies recently utilized three-stage designs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the practical properties of statistical powers and positive predictive values (PPVs) of replication-based analysis (RBA) and the joint analysis (JA)...
