But while the media trumpet the successes of genome scans, little attention is paid to their failures. The fact remains that despite the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on genome-wide association studies, most of the genetic variance in risk for most common diseases remains undiscovered. Indeed, some common diseases with a strong heritable component, such as bipolar disease, have remained almost completely resistant to GWAS.

Excellent advice to from an experienced computational biologist.
