Learning by Example
Many people find that it easiest to learn by example. So, if reading through our extensive documentation is not for you, you might find it more appealing to walk through a simple METAL analysis.
The Glucose Data
This example examines evidence for association between fasting glucose levels and genetic markers in the G6PC2 (chr. 2), GCK (chr. 7) and MTNR1B (chr. 11) regions. It uses results from 3 genomewide association studies: FUSION, SardiNIA and DGI.
