Using functional annotation for the empirical determination of Bayes Factors for genome-wide association study analysis.

Abstract excerpt

A genome wide association study (GWAS) typically results in a few highly significant 'hits' and a much larger set of suggestive signals ('near-hits'). The latter group are expected to be a mixture of true and false associations. One promising strategy to help separate these is to use functional annotations for prioritisation of variants for follow-up. A key task is to determine which annotations might prove most...
