  • On the Analysis of a Repeated Measure Design in Genome-Wide Association Analysis

    Open Access•Young Lee, Suyeon Park et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2014

    Longitudinal data enables detecting the effect of aging/time, and as a repeated measures design is statistically more efficient compared to cross-sectional data if the correlations between repeated measurements are not large. In particular, when genotyping cost is more expensive than phenotyping cost, the collection of longitudinal data can be an efficient strategy for genetic association analysis. However, in spite of these advantages, genome-wi…
