Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used to identify genetic effects on complex diseases or traits. Most currently used methods are based on separate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses. Because this approach requires correction for multiple testing to avoid excessive false-positive results, it suffers from reduced power to detect weak genetic effects under limited sample size. To...
