Interpreting population- and family-based genome-wide association studies in the presence of confounding

GWASs aim to estimate direct effects of genotype on an individual’s phenotype, but this can be subject to genetic and environmental confounds and "indirect" genetic effects of relatives’ genotypes. This study presents a theoretical analysis of the influence of confounders in population-based and within-family GWASs, showing that, while family-based studies are more rigorous, they still carry subtle issues that arise from confounding.

1️⃣ #Panel data
In panel data, specific units of #observation are surveyed or observed multiple times over time. #examples Students in a class are asked for a weekly self-assessment or the GDP of EU countries is surveyed annually.

2️⃣ Advantages / Disadvantages
#Panel data allows us to analyze the influence of events on a #variable and control for time-constant #confounders. Problematic is the drop of observation units and the influence of past on future surveys.
