Abstract:

Genome wide association studies in which hundreds of thousands of genetic markers are genotyped on hundreds or thousands of subjects are now a practical approach to study the genetic basis of complex human diseases. In this talk, I will discuss optimal experimental design and analysis methods for two-stage genome wide association studies in which a subset of samples is genotyped on all genetic markers in stage 1, and the remaining samples are genotyped on the most interesting markers in stage 2. I also will discuss the use of genome wide association data for matching cases and controls to correct for possible population stratification. I will illustrate these methods with application to data from stage 1 of a genome wide association study of type 2 diabetes from the Finland-United States Investigation of NIDDM Genetics (FUSION) study.
