Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: "Quantile-dependent expressivity" occurs when the effect size of a genetic variant depends upon whether the phenotype (e.g. cholesterol) is high or low relative to its distribution. We have previously shown that the effect of a 52-SNP genetic-risk score was 3-fold larger at the 90th percentile of the total cholesterol distribution than at its 10th percentile. The objective of this study is to assess...
