Abstract excerpt
An additive genetic model is usually employed in case-control-based genome-wide association studies. The model usually encodes "AA", "Aa" and "aa" ("a" represents the minor allele) as three different numbers, implying the contribution of genotype "Aa" to the phenotype is different from "AA" and "aa". From the perspective of biological phenomena, the coding is reasonable since the phenotypes of lives are not...
