Abstract excerpt
The power of genotype-phenotype association mapping studies increases greatly when contributions from multiple variants in a focal region are meaningfully aggregated. Currently, there are two popular categories of variant aggregation methods. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) represent a set of emerging methods that select variants based on their effect on gene expressions, providing pretrained linear...
