Abstract excerpt
Even in large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs), only a fraction of the true associations are detected at the genome-wide significance level. When few or no associations reach the significance threshold, one strategy is to follow up on the most promising candidates, i.e. the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the smallest association-test P-values, by genotyping them in additional studies. In...
