While analysis by intention-to-treat should remain the principal reporting approach for most major clinical trials, arguments are put forward as to why supplementary analyses taking account of c...
متن کاملShort Communication Data-Dredging Gene-Dose Analyses in Association Studies: Biases and their Corrections
To examine the joint effect of multiple loci on disease risk, many case-control association studies used ‘‘gene-dose analyses.’’ However, some researchers defined high-risk genotypes (or alleles) as those that have higher genotypic (allelic) frequencies in the case group compared with the control group in the study. This will lead to the total number of the ‘‘high-risk’’ genotypes (alleles) ten...
