Evaluation of clustering and genotype distribution for replication in genome wide association studies: the age-related eye disease study.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) assess correlation between traits and DNA sequence variation using large numbers of genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed across the genome. A GWAS produces many trait-SNP associations with low p-values, but few are replic...
