Identifying pleiotropic genes for complex phenotypes with summary statistics from a perspective of composite null hypothesis testing.

Abstract excerpt

Pleiotropy has important implication on genetic connection among complex phenotypes and facilitates our understanding of disease etiology. Genome-wide association studies provide an unprecedented opportunity to detect pleiotropic associations; however, efficient pleiotropy test methods are still lacking. We here consider pleiotropy identification from a methodological perspective of high-dimensional composite...
