Thesis
Design and analysis of genome-wide association studies
- Abstract:
-
Despite many years of effort, linkage and candidate gene association studies have yielded disappointingly few risk loci for common human diseases such as diabetes, auto-immune disorders and cancers. Large sample sizes, increased understanding of the patterns of correlation in genetic variation, and plunging genotyping costs have enabled genome-wide association studies, which have good power to detect common risk alleles of modest effect. I present an evaluation of SNP choice in study design a...
