Genome-wide association studies are designed to discover SNPs that are associated with a complex trait. Employing strict significance thresholds when testing individual SNPs avoids false positives at the expense of increasing false negatives. Recently, we developed a method for quantitative traits t

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become increasingly popular recently and contributed to the discovery of many susceptibility variants. However, a large proportion of the heritability still remained unexplained. This observation raises queries regarding the ability of GWAS to uncover the

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are conducted with the promise to discover novel genetic variants associated with diverse traits. For most traits, associated markers individually explain just a modest fraction of the phenotypic variation, but their number can well be in the hundreds. We devel
