Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Numerous methods have been proposed to model the association between multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a phenotype. Often these methods do not explicitly model the information regarding the linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs. Furthermore, many methods shrink the SNP effects towards zero, rather than to an unknown latent gene-level effect. METHODS: We outline the use of bayesian...
