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.

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.

TL;DR: The results provide strong support for the association of at least seven genetic loci and psoriasis (each with combined P < 5 × 10−8) and suggest priority targets for study in other auto-immune disorders.
