2011 OCT 21 -- Research findings, "Gene set analysis of SNP data: benefits, challenges, and future directions," are discussed in a new report. According to the authors of a study from Rochester, Minnesota, "The last decade of human genetic research witnessed the completion of hundreds of genome-wide association studies (GWASs). However, the genetic variants discovered through these efforts account for only a small proportion of the heritability of complex traits."
"One explanation for the missing heritability is that the common analysis approach, assessing the effect of each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) individually, is not well suited to the...
