Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cost efficient two-stage design is often used in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in searching for genetic loci underlying the susceptibility for complex diseases. Replication-based analysis, which considers data from each stage separately, often suffers from loss of efficiency. Joint test that combines data from both stages has been proposed and widely used to improve efficiency. However,...
