Improved methods for multi-trait fine mapping of pleiotropic risk loci
[article]
2016
bioRxiv
pre-print
Next, we show that jointly modeling pleiotropic risk regions improves fine-mapping resolution compared to standard single trait and pleiotropic fine mapping strategies. ...
In this work we introduce a new approach, fastPAINTOR, that leverages evidence across correlated traits, as well as functional annotation data, to improve fine-mapping accuracy at pleiotropic risk loci ...
The power of our multi-trait fine-mapping framework hinges on the assumption that causal variants are shared at pleiotropic risk regions. ...
