Abstract excerpt
A major goal of genetic association studies concerned with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is the detection of SNPs exhibiting an impact on the risk of developing a disease. Typically, this problem is approached by testing each of the SNPs individually. This, however, can lead to an inaccurate measurement of the influence of the SNPs on the disease risk, in particular, if SNPs only show an effect when...
