Abstract excerpt
Dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels are widely used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In these panels, SNPs within a genomic segment tend to be highly correlated. Thus, association studies based on testing the significance of single SNPs are not very effective, and genomic-window based tests have been proposed to address this problem. However, when the SNP density on the genotype panel is...
