Statistical significance for genomewide studies.
With the increase in genomewide experiments and the sequencing of multiple genomes, the analysis of large data sets has become commonplace in biology. It is often the case that thousands of features in a genomewide data set are tested against some null hypothesis, where a number of features are expected to be significant. Here we propose an approach to measuring statistical significance in thes...
متن کاملAssessing genomewide statistical significance in linkage studies.
Assessment of genomewide statistical significance in multipoint linkage analysis is a thorny problem. The existing analytical solutions rely on strong assumptions (i.e., infinitely dense or equally spaced genetic markers that are fully informative and completely observed, and a single type of relative pair) which are rarely satisfied in real human studies, while simulation-based methods are com...
متن کاملStatistical significance in genetic association studies.
Clinical & Investigative Medicine (CIM) is receiving an increasing number of reports of candidate-based association studies. The track record of such studies in the past has been poor: numerous genetic associations reported from candidate gene studies have not been replicated in later studies.1 The rise of the genomewide association study (GWAS) is changing this situation. A well-designed GWAS ...
متن کاملStatistical significance testing and clinical effectiveness studies.
Effectiveness studies, by definition, must reflect patient and treatment variables that exist in the real world of practice. This includes identifying the covariates that contribute to both positive and negative outcomes. The use of clinically significant change and reliable change indices is reviewed to demonstrate that patient changes can be made on the basis of normative comparisons, using o...
متن کاملGenomewide association studies of stroke.
BACKGROUND The genes underlying the risk of stroke in the general population remain undetermined. METHODS We carried out an analysis of genomewide association data generated from four large cohorts composing the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology consortium, including 19,602 white persons (mean [+/-SD] age, 63+/-8 years) in whom 1544 incident strokes (1164 ischemic s...
