Weighted multiple testing procedures in genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple testing procedures controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) are increasingly used in the context of genome wide association studies (GWAS), and weighted multiple testing procedures that incorporate covariate information are efficient to improve the power to detect associations. In this work, we evaluate some recent weighted multiple testing procedures in the specific context of GWAS through a...
