Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are performed in a single trait framework without considering genetic correlations between important disease traits. Hence, the GWAS have limitations in discovering genetic risk factors affecting pleiotropic effects. RESULTS: This work reports a novel data mining approach to discover patterns of multiple phenotypic associations over 52 anthropometric and...
