Joint analysis is more efficient than replication-based analysis for two-stage genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the alternative strategy of jointly analyzing the data from both stages almost always results in increased power to detect genetic association, despite the need to use more stringent significance levels, even when effect sizes differ between the two stages.

A reference panel of 64,976 haplotypes for genotype imputation

Shane A. McCarthy, +110 more
TL;DR: In this article, a reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reference-based phasing using the Haplotype Reference Consortium panel.

TL;DR: A new phasing algorithm, Eagle2, is introduced that attains high accuracy across a broad range of cohort sizes by efficiently leveraging information from large external reference panels (such as the Haplotype Reference Consortium; HRC) using a new data structure based on the positional Burrows-Wheeler transform.

- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between systolic or diastolic blood pressure and common variants in eight regions near the CYP17A1 (P = 7 × 10(-24)), CYP1A2(P = 1 × 10-23), FGF5 (P=1 × 10 -21), SH2B3(P= 3 × 10−18), MTHFR(MTHFR), c10orf107(P), ZNF652(ZNF652), PLCD3 (P,P = 5 × 10 −9),
