Abstract excerpt
A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) attempts to identify disease associated genes by imputing gene expression into a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data set and then testing for associations with a trait of interest. Regulatory processes may be shared across related tissues and one natural extension of TWAS is harnessing cross-tissue correlation...
