Whilst thousands of genetic variants have been associated with human traits, identifying the subset of those variants that are causal requires a further 'fine-mapping' step. We review the basic fine-mapping approach, which is computationally fast and requires only summary data, but depends on an assumption of a single causal variant per associated region which is recognized as biologically unrealistic. We discuss...
