Basic Checklist for a Literature Review on GWAS

The basic checklist for a literature review on Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) is designed to guide researchers in systematically reviewing genetic association evidence in the pharmaceutical field. It outlines key elements required to ensure transparent, structured, and reproducible GWAS literature reviews. The checklist helps authors clearly report search strategies, study selection criteria, data extraction methods, and interpretation of genetic findings. It supports critical evaluation of genetic variants linked to drug response, efficacy, and safety. Journals and reviewers use such checklists to assess methodological rigor and reporting quality. This checklist is essential for researchers conducting GWAS-focused reviews in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
