Recently, genome-wide association studies have substantially expanded our knowledge about genetic variants that influence the susceptibility to complex diseases. Although standard statistical tests for each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) separately are able to capture main genetic effects, dif

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed many fascinating insights into complex diseases even from simple, single-marker statistical tests. Most of these tests are designed for testing of associations between a phenotype and an autosomal genotype and are therefore not applicable to X chr

## Abstract A major challenge in genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) is to derive the multiple testing threshold when hypothesis tests are conducted using a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Permutation tests are considered the gold standard in multiple testing adjustment in gene

## Abstract Genome‐wide association (GWA) studies have recently emerged as a major approach to gene discovery for many complex diseases. Since GWA scans are expensive, cost efficiency is an important factor to consider in study design. However, it often requires extensive and time‐consuming compute
