Statistical
models used for GWAS
The seventh and
last lecture of the
H3ABioNet 2018 GWAS
lecture series will
cover different types
of GWAS depending on
data designs:
Population-based GWAS
(for case/control
design or for
quantitative traits)
and Family-based GWAS
(for independent trio
data or large
pedigrees). This
lecture will also
provide an overview of
test statistics for
multi-marker
association testing in
both type of GWAS. It
will discuss the
problem of multiple
testing, the principal
of family wise error
rate (FWER) and some
proposed methods for
P-values correction.
The lecture will
finally present a set
of tools to perform
GWAS and to represent
results.
