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

## Abstract We propose optimized twoโstage designs for genomeโwide caseโcontrol association studies, using a hypothesis testing paradigm. To save genotyping costs, the complete marker set is genotyped in a subโsample only (stage I). On stage II, the most promising markers are then genotyped in the
## Abstract Genomeโwide association (GWA) studies have proved extremely successful in identifying novel genetic loci contributing effects to complex human diseases. In doing so, they have highlighted the fact that many potential loci of modest effect remain undetected, partly due to the need for sa
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
