Concept, Design and Implementation of a Cardiovascular Gene-Centric 50 K SNP Array for Large-Scale Genomic Association Studies

Brendan J. Keating, +66 more
- 31 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: A gene-centric 50 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to assess potentially relevant loci across a range of cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory syndromes and it is demonstrated that the IBC array can be used to complement GWAS, increasing coverage in high priority CVD-related lociAcross all major HapMap populations.

Meta-analysis of Dense Genecentric Association Studies Reveals Common and Uncommon Variants Associated with Height

Matthew B. Lanktree, +202 more
TL;DR: It is shown that dense coverage of genes for uncommon SNPs, coupled with large-scale meta-analysis, can successfully identify additional variants associated with a common complex trait.
