A versatile gene-based test for genome-wide association studies.
We have derived a versatile gene-based test for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our approach, called VEGAS (versatile gene-based association study), is applicable to all GWAS designs, including family-based GWAS, meta-analyses of GWAS on the basis of summary data, and DNA-pooling-based GWAS, where existing approaches based on permutation are not possible, as well as singleton data, wher...
متن کاملA new gene-based association test for genome-wide association studies
Genome-wide association studies are widely used today to discover genetic factors that modify the risk of complex diseases. Usually, these methods work in a SNP-by-SNP fashion. We present a gene-based test that can be applied in the context of genome-wide association studies. We compare both strategies, SNP-based and gene-based, in a sample of cases and controls for rheumatoid arthritis.We obta...
متن کاملGenome-wide Association Studies
Progress in probabilistic generative models has accelerated, developing richer models with neural architectures, implicit densities, and with scalable algorithms for their Bayesian inference. However, there has been limited progress in models that capture causal relationships, for example, how individual genetic factors cause major human diseases. In this work, we focus on two challenges in par...

متن کاملGenome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies are best understood as an extension of candidate gene association studies, scaled up to cover hundreds of thousands of markers across the genome in samples usually of several thousand cases and controls. The GWA approach allows the detection of much smaller effect sizes than with previous linkage-based genome-wide studies. However, this sensitivity makes th...
