genome wide association study (gwas)

How is a GWAS Conducted?


Conducting a GWAS involves several key steps:
Sample Collection: Large groups of individuals, including those with and without the disease, are recruited.
Genotyping: DNA from these individuals is extracted and analyzed to identify millions of SNPs.
Statistical Analysis: The frequency of each SNP is compared between the groups to identify significant associations.
Replication: Findings are validated in different populations to ensure the results are not due to random chance.
