Application of the experimental design of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is now
10 years old (young), and here we review the remarkable range of discoveries it has
facilitated in population and complex-trait genetics, the biology of diseases, and translation
toward new therapeutics. We predict the likely discoveries in the next 10 years, when
GWASs will be based on millions of samples with array data imputed to a large fully
sequenced reference panel and on hundreds of thousands of samples with whole-genome …
