Case-only Power Analysis
The discordance between the case-control sub-phenotype analysis and the case-only
analysis can be reconciled in terms of statistical power. To illustrate, we evaluated the
power under each analysis scenario using the genetic power calculator for the analysis
of discreet traits in case-control studies (pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/gpc/cc2.html).
The following parameters were used in the two different analysis scenarios:

of lupus renal estimated by: Prevalence of SLE in European Americans
(EA) = 0.0001; Prevalence of renal in EA SLE = 0.3; Prevalence of lupus renal =
0.0001 x 0.3 = 0.00003 [1]
In the case-control analysis using the assumptions in the table above and using the
general 2 degree of freedom test (BB vs. Bb vs. bb) our study would have 99% power to
detect a relative risk of 2.0 for the heterozygote. However, in the case-only analysis
where our “case” (SLE patients with renal) to “control” (SLE patients without renal) ratio
was reduced to 2 and the prevalence of the C allele was increased to 12.9%
(Supplementary Table 2), we would need at least 559 cases and 1118 controls to detect
to detect an effect with OR 2.0 at 99% power. This suggests that our inability to
replicate a significant effect for SLE sub-phenotypes in the case-only analysis was likely
due to reduced statistical power resulting from a decreased sample size.
Note that these calculations were done using the details of the renal subset as it had the
smallest sample size, but certainly, given the slightly smaller effect size but slightly
larger sample, these results can be generalized to the analyses of hematologic traits as
well.
