In this article, we develop a powerful test for identifying single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-sets that are predictive of survival with data from genome-wide association studies. We first group typed SNPs into SNP-sets based on genomic features and then apply a score test to assess the overall ef

## Abstract Population‐based case‐control design has become one of the most popular approaches for conducting genome‐wide association scans for rare diseases like cancer. In this article, we propose a novel method for improving the power of the widely used single‐single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP
One of the most difficult issues to be solved in genome-wide association studies is to reduce the amount of genomic DNA required for genotyping. Currently available technologies require too large a quantity of genomic DNA to genotype with hundreds or thousands of singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs
