- Single point insertion/deletion
Structural variant
-Copy number variant(duplication or deletion of a row of nucleotides) variant is the amount of copies

What is the problem with GWAS?
Effects are small, so large samples needed
No functional information, findings in gene deserts
What is the advantage of gene set analysis in comparison to GWAS?
Incrases effects sized by looking at joint effects
What are gene deserts and what might there function be?
