Synthesis of genetic association studies for pertinent gene-disease associations requires appropriate methodological and statistical approaches.

Journal of clinical epidemiology - 1 Jul 2008

Zintzaras Elias, Lau Joseph

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to consider statistical and methodological issues affecting the results of meta-analysis of genetic association studies for pertinent gene-disease associations. Although the basic statistical issues for performing meta-analysis are well described in the literature, there are remaining methodological issues. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: An analysis of our database and a literature...
