Enhanced rare disease mapping for phenome-wide genetic association in the UK Biobank.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rare diseases collectively affect up to 10% of the population, but often lack effective treatment, and typically little is known about their pathophysiology. Major challenges include suboptimal phenotype mapping and limited statistical power. Population biobanks, such as the UK Biobank, recruit many individuals who can be affected by rare diseases; however, investigation into their utility for rare...
