Abstract excerpt
The goal of Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) is the identification of genetic variants, usually single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that are associated with disease risk. However, SNPs detected so far with GWAS for most common diseases only explain a small proportion of their total heritability. Gene set analysis (GSA) has been proposed as an alternative to single-SNP analysis with the aim of improving...
