Why is assocTestMM running with only a fraction of SNPs in genotype data?

I'm trying to run assocTestMM (GENESIS) with 4.4M SNPs. However, it runs with only a small fraction of SNPs. I've read the R documentation for assocTestMM and don't see any type of filter settings. I checked my genotype data prior to running assocTestMM and made sure the correct number of SNPs are in this dataset. Please see below the inconsistency between how many SNPs are in the dataset and how many are used by assocTestMM. How can I run this package with all of the SNPs in the dataset?

Below you can see the object geno has 4,428,726 SNPs

However, when I try to run GWAS only a small fraction of SNPs are included. Why is this? How can I include the whole set?

Hello, In the code you provided, it looks like you are specifying chr = 19 in the function call to assocTestMM. This will result in only variants in chromosome 19 being tested. Please remove that argument, and chr will default to NULL, which runs all variants.
