Abstract

Genome-wide association studies have eclipsed candidate gene association studies in genetic epidemiology in providing robust, unbiased evidence for the role of genetic variants in complex traits and diseases. The hypothesis-free nature of GWAS inherently minimises the risk of publication bias, and where available these studies should be considered in any meta-analysis of genetic association studies.
