Article Synopsis
  • The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 3 conducted a genome-wide association scan for anorexia nervosa using 2,907 cases from 15 European populations and the Illumina 670K chip.
  • The study compared different methods to identify population stratification, suggesting that using all SNPs with a minor allele frequency (MAF) greater than 1% could be more effective than the usual threshold of 5%.
  • Principal component analysis revealed significant genetic variation across the populations, helping to identify hidden stratification and offering insights for better designing and interpreting association studies in international research efforts.
