OrdinalGWAS.jl is a Julia package for performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for ordered categorical phenotypes. It is useful when the phenotype takes ordered discrete values, e.g., disease status (undiagnosed, pre-disease, mild, moderate, severe). It runs efficiently and scales well to very large datasets. The package currently supports [PLINK](https://zzz.bwh.harvard.edu/plink/), [VCF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_Call_Format) (both dosage and genotype data) file formats, and [BGEN](https://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~gav/bgen_format/) file formats. We plan to add [PGEN](https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/2.0/formats#pgen) support in the future.

OrdinalGWAS.jl supports Julia v1.6 or later. See the [documentation](https://openmendel.github.io/OrdinalGWAS.jl/latest/) for usage.
