A simultaneous analysis of a large number of SNPs, although statistically challenging, especially with a small number of samples, is crucial for genetic modeling.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Method: We propose a two-stage procedure for multi-SNP modeling and analysis in GWASs, by first producing a \u2018preconditioned\u2019 response variable using a supervised principle component analysis and then formulating Bayesian lasso to select a subset of significant SNPs. The Bayesian lasso is implemented with a hierarchical model, in which scale mixtures of normal are used as prior distributions for the genetic effects and exponential priors are considered for their variances, and then solved by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Our approach obviates the choice of the lasso parameter by imposing a diffuse hyperprior on it and estimating it along with other parameters and is particularly powerful for selecting the most relevant SNPs for GWASs, where the number of predictors exceeds the number of observations.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: The new approach was examined through a simulation study. By using the approach to analyze a real dataset from the Framingham Heart Study, we detected several significant genes that are associated with body mass index (BMI). Our findings support the previous results about BMI-related SNPs and, meanwhile, gain new insights into the genetic control of this trait.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability: The computer code for the approach developed is available at Penn State Center for Statistical Genetics web site, http:\/\/statgen.psu.edu.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0rwu@hes.hmc.psu.edu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,15]],"date-time":"2010-12-15T02:24:00Z","timestamp":1292379840000},"page":"516-523","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":164,"title":["The Bayesian lasso for genome-wide association studies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Jiahan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"}]},{"given":"Kiranmoy","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"}]},{"given":"Guifang","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"}]},{"given":"Runze","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"}]},{"given":"Rongling","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16802 and 2Center for Statistical Genetics, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA 17033, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012511573336800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517-6161.1974.tb00989.x","article-title":"Scale mixture of normal distributions","volume":"36","author":"Andrews","year":"1974","journal-title":"J.
