Methods for detecting and correcting for population stratification.

We describe methods for detecting the presence of PS including global and local ancestry methods. We also describe approaches for accounting for PS when calculating association statistics, such that measures of association are not confounded. This is particularly important since many traits are being examined in minority populations, populations that may inherently feature PS. PMID: 22470140 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
