On the utility of gene set methods in genomewide association studies of quantitative traits.

Abstract excerpt

In genomewide genetic association studies, prior biological knowledge may help distinguish variation that is truly associated with a quantitative trait from the vast majority of unassociated variation that may be significant in hypothesis testing due to chance. However, formal methods for integrating prior biological knowledge into association studies have only been proposed recently, and their potential utility...
