Abstract excerpt
We describe a statistical method for prioritizing candidate causal noncoding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in regions of the genome that are detected as trait-associated in a population-based genome-wide association study (GWAS). Our method's key step is to combine, within a naïve Bayes-like framework, three quantities for each SNP: (1) the p-value for the association test between the SNP's genotype and...
