Meta-Analysis of Genetic Association Studies
Meta-analysis, a statistical tool for combining results across studies, is becoming popular as a method for resolving discrepancies in genetic association studies. Persistent difficulties in obtaining robust, replicable results in genetic association studies are almost certainly because genetic effects are small, requiring studies with many thousands of subjects to be detected. In this article,...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of genetic association studies
Population stratification: occurs when a population consists of a set of subpopulations. If one subpopulation contains a frequency of disease allele that is relatively high, then any marker also at a higher frequency will appear to be associated, wherever it is located in the genome. Transmission disequilibrium test: a method of detecting genetic association that avoids problems of population s...
متن کاملMultivariate Meta-Analysis of Genetic Association Studies: A Simulation Study
In a meta-analysis with multiple end points of interests that are correlated between or within studies, multivariate approach to meta-analysis has a potential to produce more precise estimates of effects by exploiting the correlation structure between end points. However, under random-effects assumption the multivariate estimation is more complex (as it involves estimation of more parameters si...
متن کاملIdentifying systematic heterogeneity patterns in genetic association meta-analysis studies
Progress in mapping loci associated with common complex diseases or quantitative inherited traits has been expedited by large-scale meta-analyses combining information across multiple studies, assembled through collaborative networks of researchers. Participating studies will usually have been independently designed and implemented in unique settings that are potential sources of phenotype, anc...
متن کاملMeta-Analysis of Theft Studies in Iran
Theft is one of the crucial criminal practices that threaten the public and social security of the community, and its prevalence is a clear indication of social insecurity. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of the theft at its all levels and aspects by using systematic review and meta-analysis. The statistical population of this synthesizing study includes all of the research studies in...
