Multilocus association analysis under polygenic models.

Abstract excerpt

For each variant in a genome-wide association study, the risk allele is the one with an odds ratio greater than 1. For a given set of variants, the number of risk alleles in cases minus that in controls is evaluated and a p-value is obtained for this difference. Successive sums of these differences over the best 2, 3, etc. variants and associated p-values are obtained. The smallest such p-value is our genome-wide...
