Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"Genotype encoding assumed Diploidy, with dosage represented as 0, 1, or 2 copies of the effect allele."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
