Abstract excerpt
Pleiotropy (i.e., genes with effects on multiple traits) leads to genetic correlations between traits and contributes to the development of many syndromes. Identifying variants with pleiotropic effects on multiple health-related traits can improve the biological understanding of gene action and disease etiology, and can help to advance disease-risk prediction. Sequential testing is a powerful approach for mapping...
