Gene set analysis methods for SNP association p-values that lie
in genes in given gene sets
Description
Gene set analysis methods exist to combine SNP-level
association p-values into gene sets, calculating a single
association p-value for each gene set. This package implements
two such methods that require only the calculated SNP p-values,
the gene set(s) of interest, and a correlation matrix (if
desired). One method (GLOSSI) requires independent SNPs and the
other (VEGAS) can take into account correlation (LD) among the
SNPs. Built-in plotting functions are available to help users
visualize results.
