Using the False Discovery Rate Approach in the Genetic Dissection of Complex Traits: A Response to Weller et al.

WELLER et al. ([1998][1]) proposed controlling the “false discovery rate” (FDR) or the expected proportion of false rejections within the class of rejected null hypotheses when performing preliminary genome scans, adopting the method of Benjamini and Hochberg ([1995][2]; hereafter BH). The BH
