Biases in GWAS – the dog that did not bark

2019-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Genome wide association studies (GWAS) of specific diseases are central to scientific discovery. Bias from inevitably recruiting only survivors of genetic make-up and disease specific competing risk has not been comprehensively considered. <h4>Methods</h4> We identified sources of bias using directed acyclic graphs, and tested for them in the UK Biobank GWAS by making comparisons across the s...
