The Post-GWAS Era: From Association to Function.

American journal of human genetics - 3 May 2018

Gallagher Michael D, Chen-Plotkin Alice S

Abstract excerpt

During the past 12 years, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have uncovered thousands of genetic variants that influence risk for complex human traits and diseases. Yet functional studies aimed at delineating the causal genetic variants and biological mechanisms underlying the observed statistical associations with disease risk have lagged. In this review, we highlight key advances in the field of functional...
