A simple genome-wide association study algorithm
A computationally simple genome-wide association study (GWAS) algorithm for estimating the main and epistatic effects of markers or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is proposed. It is based on the intuitive assumption that changes of alleles corresponding to important SNPs in a pair of individuals lead to large difference of phenotype values of these individuals. The algorithm is based on considering pairs of individuals instead of SNPs or pairs of SNPs. The main advantage of the algorithm is that it weakly depends on the number of SNPs in a genotype matrix. It mainly depends on the number of individuals, which is typically very small in comparison with the number of SNPs. Numerical experiments with real data sets illustrate the proposed algorithm.

Correcting for Cryptic Relatedness in Genome-Wide Association Studies
While the individuals chosen for a genome-wide association study (GWAS) may not be closely related to each other, there can be distant (cryptic) relationships that confound the evidence of disease association. These cryp…
