PWAS: proteome-wide association study-linking genes and phenotypes by functional variation in proteins.

Abstract excerpt

We introduce Proteome-Wide Association Study (PWAS), a new method for detecting gene-phenotype associations mediated by protein function alterations. PWAS aggregates the signal of all variants jointly affecting a protein-coding gene and assesses their overall impact on the protein's function using machine learning and probabilistic models. Subsequently, it tests whether the gene exhibits functional variability...
