GCTA: A Tool for Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis
Open accessAbstract
For most human complex diseases and traits, SNPs identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) explain only a small fraction of the heritability. Here we report a user-friendly software tool called genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA), which was developed based on a method we recently developed to address the "missing heritability" problem. GCTA estimates the variance explained by all the SNPs on a chromosome or on the whole genome for a complex trait rather than testing the association of any particular SNP to the trait. We introduce GCTA's five main functions: data management, estimation of the genetic relationships from SNPs, mixed linear model analysis of variance explained by the SNPs, estimation of the linkage disequilibrium structure, and GWAS simulation. We focus on the function of estimating the variance explained by all the SNPs on the X chromosome and testing the hypotheses of dosage compensation. The GCTA software is a versatile tool to estimate and partition complex trait variation with large GWAS data sets.

“The commonly used threshold of genome-wide significance (p-value = 5×10−8) has played an important role in making human genetic study results robust; however, several studies have demonstrated that non-genome-wide effects explain an important proportion of the effect of genetic variation on disease susceptibility.

“Second, several methods can calculate the heritability of a trait using SNP array data (Bulik-Sullivan et al., 2015; Yang et al., 2011). These provide assessments of heritability based on genome-wide genotypes, and improves upon traditional heritability measurements given their basis in direct genetic measurements.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
