Power
Scen11 10 kb, 1000 A, 30% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen12 Same as Scen11. But 30% of the causal variants are changed to protective variants.
Scen13 10 kb, 1000 A, 30% of common variants are risk variants
Scen14 10 kb, 1000 A, 10% of common and 10% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen15 10 kb, 1000 A, 30% of common and 30% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen16 Same as Scen15. But 30% of the causal variants are changed to protective variants
Scen17 25 kb, 1000 A, 30% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen18 Same as Scen17. But 30% of the causal variants are changed to protective variants.
Scen19 25 kb, 1000 A, 30% of common variants are risk variants
Scen20 25 kb, 1000 A, 10% of common and 10% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen21 25 kb, 1000 A, 30% of common and 30% of rare variants are risk variants
Scen22 Same as Scen21. But 30% of the causal variants are changed to protective variants
