Abstract excerpt
Most risk variants for brain disorders identified by genome-wide association studies reside in the noncoding genome, which makes deciphering biological mechanisms difficult. A commonly used tool, multimarker analysis of genomic annotation (MAGMA), addresses this issue by aggregating single nucleotide polymorphism associations to nearest genes. Here we developed a platform, Hi-C-coupled MAGMA (H-MAGMA), that...
