Description
The X chromosome plays an important role in complex human traits and diseases, especially those with sexually dimorphic characteristics. Special attention needs to be given to the analysis of X due to its unique inheritance pattern and X-inactivation. These analytical complications have resulted in exclusion or mishandling of the X chromosome in the majority of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to date. With XWAS, we hope to provide the tools and incentive to accurately incorporate the X chromosome into GWAS, hence enabling discoveries of novel loci implicated in many diseases and in their sexual dimorphism.
