Abstract excerpt
Motivation: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many genetic loci associated with complex traits. A substantial fraction of these identified loci is associated with multiple traits-a phenomena known as pleiotropy. Identification of pleiotropic associations can help characterize the genetic relationship among complex traits and can facilitate our understanding of disease etiology. Effective...
