Beyond GWASs: illuminating the dark road from association to function.

American journal of human genetics - 7 Nov 2013

Edwards Stacey L, Beesley Jonathan, French Juliet D, Dunning Alison M

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have enabled the discovery of common genetic variation contributing to normal and pathological traits and clinical drug responses, but recognizing the precise targets of these associations is now the major challenge. Here, we review recent approaches to the functional follow-up of GWAS loci, including fine mapping of GWAS signal(s), prioritization of putative functional...
