Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been shown to have the potential of explaining more of the "missing heritability" of complex human phenotypes by improving statistical approaches. Here, we applied a genetic-pleiotropy-informed conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) to capture additional polygenic effects associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine) (eGFRcrea) and type 2 diabetes...
