This contribution summarizes the work done by six independent teams of investigators to identify the genetic and nongenetic variants that work together or independently to predispose to disease. The theme addressed in these studies is multistage strategies in the context of genome-wide association s

## Abstract Genome‐wide case‐control association study is gaining popularity, thanks to the rapid development of modern genotyping technology. In such studies, population stratification is a potential concern especially when the number of study subjects is large as it can lead to seriously inflated
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been frequently conducted on general or isolated populations with related individuals. However, there is a lack of consensus on which strategy is most appropriate for analyzing dichotomous phenotypes in general pedigrees. Using simulation studies, we compa
