Issues with data transformation in genome-wide association studies for phenotypic variability

2013-10-02

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss and clarify a few points about data transformation used in genome-wide association studies, especially for phenotypic variability. By commenting on the recent publication by Sun et al. in the American Journal of Human Genetics , we emphasize the importance of statistical power in detecting functional loci and the real meaning of the scale of the phenotype in pract...
