on different chips, need to be aware of the high potential for false positives after imputation, and must guard against it or control for it. In particular, it is vitally important to technically validate any SNPs that appear significant before reporting them, by regenotyping those SNPs on an independent platform – considered best practice in any GWA study, it is all the more important here where the chance of false positive results due to differential imputation is so high.
