Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully identified a large amount of
single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with many complex phenotypes in diverse …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 2,000 trait-SNP
associations, and the number continues to increase. GWAS have focused on traits with …

Background Genome-wide association studies have detected a large number of single-

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been mostly conducted in populations of
European ancestry, which currently limits the transferability of their findings to other …

Population stratification acts as a confounding factor in genetic association studies and may
lead to false-positive or false-negative results. Previous studies have analyzed the genetic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been very successful at identifying genetic
variants influencing a large number of traits. Although the great majority of these studies …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in samples of European ancestry have identified
thousands of genetic variants associated with complex traits in humans. However, it remains …

Background Detecting trans-ethnic common associated genetic loci can offer important
insights into shared genetic components underlying complex diseases/traits across diverse …

Recent results indicate that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to
explain much of the heritability of common complex phenotypes, but methods are lacking to …
