Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have implicated many human genomic loci in the development of complex traits. The loci identified by these studies are potentially involved in novel pathways that contribute to disease pathophysiology. However, eventual therapeutic targeting of these pathways relies on bridging the gap between genetic association and function, a task that first requires validation of causal...
