Abstract excerpt
Functional annotations have the potential to increase power of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) by prioritizing variants according to their biological function, but this potential has not been well studied. We comprehensively evaluated all 1132 traits in the UK Biobank whose SNP-heritability estimates were given "medium" or "high" labels by Neale's lab. For each trait, we integrated GWAS summary statistics...
