Dear Chris,

I am trying to meta-analyze the outputs which were conditioned upon the top SNP using plink2.0.

I am wondering if plink1.9 will automatically pool the adjusted estimates with TEST column showing ADD or I need to extract the rows before meta-analysis. Because in the conditioned output, I found for one specific SNP, there are two rows with different statistcs. Their TEST column are different, one showing ADD and the other is the top SNP that I included. Just curious how plink handles these for meta-analysis.

Many thanks,
Jingjing

From the plink 1.9 --meta-analysis documentation:

"- If a variant appears more than once in the same file (e.g. --linear/--logistic output), only the first appearance is considered. Add the --meta-analysis-report-dups flag if you want the later appearances to be logged in the .prob file and included in the 'problematic line' count."
