Is it possible to do a PLINK (1.9) meta-analysis using .qassoc files as input?
The files look like:
CHR SNP BP NMISS BETA SE R2 T P
21 rs4577363 14505577 25 0.3334 0.3214 0.04468 1.037 0.3104
From the documentation I understand that I should use parameters qt (to indicate that this is from linear association) and no-allele (to ignore that A1 is missing), but I cannot get the syntax correct. Currently I have:
plink --meta-analysis resultsfile1.qassoc resultsfile2.qassoc + qt no-allele --out meta_analysis_results
Can somebody help me, please?
To clarify, I get an error message:
Error: Invalid --meta-analysis parameter ' '.
I suppose this refers to the white-space between qt and no-allele.
