Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Pathway association analysis (PAA) tests for an excess of moderately significant SNPs in genes from a common pathway. METHODS: We present a Monte-Carlo simulation framework that allows to formulate the main ideas of existing PAA approaches using a self-contained rather than a competitive null hypothesis. A stand-alone implementation in INTERSNP makes time-consuming communication with standard GWAS...
