hello,
Im new to SNP studies and Im looking to clear a few doubts.
There are several studies identifying SNPs near gene loci via genome wide association studies (GWAS). I understand a SNP is significant if it has a genome wide significance of P < 5 × 10−8
If a particular SNP has been identified e.g.
rs2487032 (A), p value 9.20 × 10−14 in disease vs control samples in GWAS
Does this mean that anyone in the population with this SNP
rs2487032 (A) has a high association with that particular disease, if the allele in place is A?
