Meta-analysis of genetic association studies
Meta-analysis, a statistical tool for combining results across studies, is becoming popular as a method for resolving discrepancies in genetic association studies. Persistent difficulties in obtaining robust, replicable results in genetic association studies are almost certainly because genetic effects are small, requiring studies with many thousands ...

Genetic Association Study Design
Association studies can be performed using any type of genetic polymorphism, but the one most commonly used is the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). This is because of its abundance across the genome, comprising 90% of all human variation. The aim of this chapter is to review various aspects of population-based study design, aimed at uncovering ...

Bayesian Model Comparison in Genetic Association Analysis: Linear Mixed Modeling and SNP Set Testing [PDF]
We consider the problems of hypothesis testing and model comparison under a flexible Bayesian linear regression model whose formulation is closely connected with the linear mixed effect model and the parametric models for SNP set analysis in genetic ...
