Hi, Thanks for the question. I think your question is mainly related to genetic architecture, and I recommend reading this review.
Timpson, N. J., Greenwood, C. M., Soranzo, N., Lawson, D. J., & Richards, J. B. (2018). Genetic architecture: the shape of the genetic contribution to human traits and disease. Nature Reviews Genetics, 19(2), 110-124.
Besides the biological reasons, other technical factors may also affect the "appearance" of the Manhattan Plot. For example, QC, genomic inflation, statistical power, variants coverage, and so forth.
Hi there, thanks for this great tool!
About the demonstration of gwaslab, I have one little question about gwas analysis. Certain gwas results may represent sproadic signals across whole genome, like this:![image](https://github.com/Cloufield/gwaslab/assets/88021864/5b22dcb0-238b-48cf-b256-b6bc6808f43e)
But, some may show an enrichment of signals in certain genomic region:![image](https://github.com/Cloufield/gwaslab/assets/88021864/6ec8367b-e33b-4eba-ad18-d6cae869ddd9)
I wonder which factors can be the determinant, e.g., population stratification, LD, or minor allele count... I'll really appreciate it if you could give me a hint.
