Correcting “winner's curse” in odds ratios from genomewide association findings for major complex human diseases
MethodsHua Zhong et al.(2010)· Genetic Epidemiology

This paper applies a bias correction method for odds ratio estimates from GWAS discovery data, demonstrating that the 'winner's curse' affects initial effect size estimates. The authors applied conditional maximum likelihood estimation to correct bias in GWAS findings from multiple complex diseases (breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, type I and II diabetes) and show that bias-adjusted odds ratios are substantially more consistent with subsequent replication studies, with selection-adjusted confidence intervals providing better uncertainty quantification than uncorrected estimates.

About IL1RAP

This gene encodes a component of the interleukin 1 receptor complex, which initiates signalling events that result in the activation of interleukin 1-responsive genes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in membrane-bound and soluble isoforms differing in their C-terminus. The ratio of soluble to membrane-bound forms increases during acute-phase induction or stress. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2018]
