Comments on revised manuscript |
I have read authors' response and I'm mostly satisfied.
Only two minor comments:
* Witte 2014 Nature Rev. Genet. article summarizes the point I tried to make well. I understand that rare variants should have a relatively higher effect from an evolutionary perspective, but since these are rare, their individual or even collective contribution to a
disease in the population is still small. A casual reader may not realize this point and I think it would be helpful to cite Witte's article.
* My minor comment on Fig.1 is still not addressed: there seem to be more points on the right side of p=0.01 line than the left side.
Why this discontinuity? (the added text in Revision is about the color and size of the dots, not about this discontinuity) |
