Use the package with caution

In my work with GRASP it became obvious that the database is missing many SNPs. They have no SNPs with a p-value greater than 0.05, but beyond that, many studies only have a few hundred SNPs, and the distribution is not at all what you would expect given a truly random sample of SNPs with a p-value less than 0.05. For example, the best overlap I could find in any phenotype I examined between Europeans and Africans was for BMI, and that looked like this:

European vs African BMI SNPs from GRASP

Not very convincing at all. There should be a greater cluster around 0, and more points on the line; not to mention thousands more points.
