Abstract excerpt
Along with the accumulated data of genetic variants and biomedical phenotypes in the genome era, statistical identification of pleiotropy is of growing interest for dissecting and understanding genetic correlations between complex traits. We proposed a novel method for estimating and testing pleiotropic effect of a genetic variant on two quantitative traits. Based on a covariance decomposition and estimation, our...
