  • Meta-analysis of gene-disease association studies: a Bayesian genetic model-free approach and its implementation

    The choice of genetic models was main difficulty in the meta-analysis of gene-disease association studies. In this study, we made a further discussion about the genetic model-free approach that proposed by Minelli et al. The program that coded by JAGS and R was carried out to perform the Bayesian procedure. In a real example, several kinds of prior distribution were used, including non-informative prior distribution and external clinical prior information. Especially, compared to Minelli’s study, we introduced clinical prior information. The results indicated that the pooled results were rather robust no matters the prior distribution were non-informative or informative, especially when the number of included studies were large.
