    Glossary Genome-Wide Association Study

    research method identifying genetic variants linked to specific traits

    A Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) is a research approach used to identify genetic variations linked to specific diseases or traits by scanning the genomes of many individuals. By comparing the DNA of people with and without a particular condition, researchers can pinpoint genetic markers that may contribute to the risk of developing that condition, providing insights into its biological mechanisms.
