A pathway analysis method for genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

For genome-wide association studies, we propose a new method for identifying significant biological pathways. In this approach, we aggregate data across single-nucleotide polymorphisms to obtain summary measures at the gene level. We then use a hierarchical Bayesian model, which takes the gene-level summary measures as data, in order to evaluate the relevance of each pathway to an outcome of interest (e.g.,...
