Abstract excerpt
The availability of electronic health record (EHR)-based phenotypes allows for genome-wide association analyses in thousands of traits and has great potential to enable identification of genetic variants associated with clinical phenotypes. We can interpret the phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) result for a single genetic variant by observing its association across a landscape of phenotypes. Because a...
