    Study Notes

    Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in Medical News

    • GWAS studies focus on the cumulative action of many genes and the environment for complex phenotypes and diseases
    • GWAS surveys most of the genome for causal genetic variants and can be applied to quantitative and complex traits
    • Haplotype blocks are used to find genes affecting phenotypes and enable large-scale GWAS
    • Human SNP chips can assay >1 million SNPs and need to include low frequency SNPs (1-5%)
    • Correcting for multiple-hypothesis testing is necessary in GWAS due to the large number of independent tests
    • Odds ratio is a measure of effect size and strength of association in GWAS
    • False positives in GWAS can result from random effects, systematic bias, population stratification, and missing data
    • Population stratification due to admixture can lead to biased results in GWAS if not accounted for
    • GWAS requires genotyping of thousands of individuals to have power, and a multistage approach can reduce genotyping cost while maintaining power
    • Bonferroni correction is punitively conservative and permutation testing can find a more appropriate p-value threshold
    • GWAS studies need to repeat with another set of samples and a subset can be retested with a denser SNP assay
    • Critical to take population structure into account when doing GWAS to avoid biased results due to population stratification
