Abstract excerpt
Multitrait tests can improve power to detect associations between individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and several related traits. Here, we develop methods for multi-SNP transcriptome-wide association (TWAS) tests to test the association between predicted gene expression levels and multiple phenotypes. We show that the correlation in TWAS test statistics for multiple phenotypes has the same form as...
