- A genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a non-heritable trait – sex – in 3.3 million genotyped individuals identified 158 spurious associations that suggest participation bias. The differential participation of males and females in GWAS may correlate with the complex trait being studied. For example, the authors write, “females with higher genetic susceptibility to obesity are less likely to participate in studies than their male equivalents (or that genetically lean males are more likely to).” The paper discusses a conceptual framework to address this issue. The researchers performed the first GWAS on a 23andMe cohort and repeated it in four additional cohorts (UK Biobank, FinnGen, BioBank Japan, and iPSYCH). Senior author Andrea Ganna discussed the findings in a tweetorial, and first author Nicola Pirastu stressed two take-home points in another thread.
