## Abstract Metaβanalyses of genetic association studies are usually performed using a single polymorphism at a time, even though in many cases the individual studies report results from partially overlapping sets of polymorphisms. We present here a multipoint (or multilocus) method for multivariat
Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies involves testing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using summary statistics that are weighted sums of site-specific score or Wald statistics. This approach avoids having to pool individual-level data. We describe the weights that maximize the pow
