Abstract:Current genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focusing on relatively common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) usually adopt a cost-effective multi-staged design in which a proportion of the total samples are genotyped using a commercial SNP array with a reasonably good coverage of the whole genome at the initial stage, and a list of promising SNPs are further genotyped and evaluated on the remaining samples at the second stage. This staged design in principal can also be used for the study of rare geneti… Show more
