Estimating Reproducibility in Genome-Wide Association Studies
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to discover genetic variants associated with diseases. To control false positives, all findings from GWAS need to be verified with additional evidences, even for associations discovered from a high power study. Replication study is a common verification method by using independent samples. An association is regarded as true positive with a ...
متن کاملAssessing reproducibility: agreement vs correlation.
I have read with interest the paper by SENÉTERRE et al. [1]. However, perhaps the method used to assess the reproducibility of the measurements is not the best one. The authors use Spearman's rank test, and they find an "excellent and highly significant" reproducibility, since r-value is 0.99 in all cases. Considering that correlation is different from agreement, BLAND and ALTMAN [2] have propo...
متن کاملAssessing the effects of multiple markers in genetic association studies
It is believed that human diseases and their underlying causal pathways involve a complex interplay between multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. The search for relevant genetic variants, which typically have very small individual effects, is challenging. While typically genetic association studies involve testing for association between the phenotype and each individual genetic vari...
متن کاملAssessing the reproducibility of discriminant function analyses
Data are the foundation of empirical research, yet all too often the datasets underlying published papers are unavailable, incorrect, or poorly curated. This is a serious issue, because future researchers are then unable to validate published results or reuse data to explore new ideas and hypotheses. Even if data files are securely stored and accessible, they must also be accompanied by accurat...
متن کاملAssessing the reproducibility of an analytical method.
The reproducibility of a validated analytical method may require reassessment because of various reasons, such as the transfer between laboratories or companies, changes in the instruments or software platforms (or both), or changes in critical reagents, among others. This paper is a demonstration of an assay bridging study in evaluating reproducibility. The approach is simple but very informat...
