摘要: Recent results indicate that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to explain much of heritability common complex phenotypes, but methods are lacking reliably identify remaining associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We applied stratified False Discovery Rate (sFDR) leverage genic enrichment in GWAS summary statistics data uncover new loci likely replicate independent samples. Specifically, we use linkage disequilibrium-weighted annotations for each SNP combination with nominal p-values estimate True (TDR = 1−FDR) strata determined by different categories. show a consistent pattern polygenic effects specific annotation categories across diverse greatest SNPs tagging regulatory and coding elements, little introns, negative intergenic SNPs. Stratified directly leads increased TDR given p-value, mirrored replication rates this Crohn's disease GWAS, where find hundredfold variation rate Applying well-established sFDR methodology demonstrate utility stratification improving power rejection from 20% height 300% schizophrenia traditional FDR both fixed at 0.05. Our analyses an inherent among important conceptual implications can be leveraged statistical improve discovery loci.
