Abstract excerpt
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are used to identify statistically significant genetic variants in case-control studies. The main objective is to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence a particular phenotype (i.e., disease trait). GWAS typically use a p-value threshold of 5*10-8 to identify highly ranked SNPs. While this approach has proven useful for detecting disease-susceptible SNPs,...
