Abstract excerpt
Large two-stage genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been shown to reduce required genotyping with little loss of power, compared to a one-stage design, provided a substantial fraction of cases and controls, pi(sample), is included in stage 1. However, a number of recent GWASs have used pi(sample) < 0.2. Moreover, standard power calculations are not applicable because SNPs are selected in stage 1 by...
