Checking steps to analyze snp-array data for variants detection

Hi everyone

I would like to double check my naive steps to analyze SNP-Array data to detect variants associated with a specific phenotypes with you. It is my first go with this data.

  1. I converted illumina report to plink format using genome studio.
  2. Then I converted plink format to vcf.
  3. I annotated the vcf from plink using annovar.
  4. Then I started analyzing the data the same way I do for exome data.

It seems very naiive, so is this the best way to analyze snp-array data for aim of finding variants/genes associated with a specific type? Any tutotrials exist I am oblivious of?

Thanks

Just in case some one is new to SNP array like me, I found this tutorial, and it is interesting and very helpful:
