This work directly impacts the interpretation of association studies by improving our understanding of accuracy assessments of imputed variants.

Keywords: imputation, genetic association, tagging, statistical genetics, population genetics, synthetic association, genome-wide association.

Transferability of multi-marker tagging is assessed. Tagging and imputation are compared, and a method of using tagging to select a reduced tag set to be used for imputation.

Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified many genetic variants that are associated with a variety of complex phenotypes, including anthropometric and lifestyle traits as well as complex diseases.

Notably, one of the novel TGs-associated genes, SIK family kinase 3 (SIK3), harbors an Amerindian-specific common risk variant (allele frequency=18% in Mexicans), which is not observed in other continental populations, and the risk allele ...
