Definition
AI-generated

In genetic association, effect measures link genotype to phenotype: regression coefficients for quantitative traits; odds ratios in logistic case-control models; relative risk in cohort designs; hazard ratios in time-to-event analyses.

Why it matters in GWAS

Summary statistic formats and meta-analysis require consistent effect direction (effect allele) and scale; OR approximates RR only when disease risk is low, and time-to-event models add censoring-specific interpretation.

Example usage

"Downstream interpretation uses Measure of Effect to link statistical findings to biological context."

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.
