Incorporating Functional Genomic Information in Genetic Association Studies Using an Empirical Bayes Approach.

Abstract excerpt

There is a large amount of functional genetic data available, which can be used to inform fine-mapping association studies (in diseases with well-characterised disease pathways). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) prioritization via Bayes factors is attractive because prior information can inform the effect size or the prior probability of causal association. This approach requires the specification of the...
