Abstract excerpt
Evidence from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest that pleiotropic effects on human complex phenotypes are very common. Recently, an atlas of genetic correlations among complex phenotypes has broadened our understanding of human diseases and traits. Here, we examine genetic overlap, from a gene-centric perspective, among the same 24 phenotypes previously investigated for genetic correlations. After...
