Comparison of six statistics of genetic association regarding their ability to discriminate between causal variants and genetically linked markers.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association (GWA) studies still rely on the common-disease common-variant hypothesis since the assumption is associated with increased power. In GWA studies, polymorphisms are genotyped and their association with disease is investigated. Most of the identified associations are indirect and reflect a shared inheritance of the genotyped markers and genetically linked causal variants. We have...
