I'm setting up a statistical design and I want to do GWAS on a bunch of SNP data I've gotten access to. I want to test only the sites that have been nominated in the past initially, so that my multiple comparisons correction will not be too overwhelming. I thought about also including any haplotype regions for the included variants as well. Anyway, it will still be significantly less than genome-wide comparisons.
My question is... if I then proceed to do a genome-wide association study on the *same data*, will I have to correct for the comparisons made in my initial comparison of just the nominated variants *AND* all comparisons made in the GWAS? What do the statisticians say?

There's no point in correcting twice for comparisons, so no, don't bother correcting for the initial comparisons when doing the full-scale comparisons (you'll be making some of the same comparisons and will already be correcting for them).
