Hi!

Does anybody know which of the alleles is the effect allele, after running a single variant test (b.wald) on EPACT?

The marker_Id column provides information about the SNP, example (A/T), A being the reference allele and T being the alternative allele, but

it is unclear to me, which of the two alleles causes the effect?

Grateful for any input. Thank you in advance!

The non-reference allele (T in the example) is always the effect allele.
