Look at the NHGRI Catalog of Genome Wide association studies to find a disease that is of interest to you.
-
When you find a a genome-wide association study on a disease of interest, please look up the paper and report to me

1) the reference of the paper

2) genes or SNPs that are most highly correlated with the disease
-
3) please tell me if knowledge of those SNPs or genes sheds any light on the basis for the disease, as we mentioned for Type 2 diabetes in class.
