Genome-wide association studies are likely to be conducted in large scale in the near future. In such studies, searching over hundreds of thousands of markers for the few ones that are associated with disease brings out the multiple-hypothesis testing problem in its severe form. We explore, in a two-stage design, how the use of false discovery rate (FDR) can alleviate the burden of a prohibitiv...
