Incorporating prior knowledge to increase the power of genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Typical methods of analyzing genome-wide single nucleotide variant (SNV) data in cases and controls involve testing each variant's genotypes separately for phenotype association, and then using a substantial multiple-testing penalty to minimize the rate of false positives. This approach, however, can result in low power for modestly associated SNVs. Furthermore, simply looking at the most associated SNVs may not...
