Detecting associated genes for complex traits shared across East Asian and European populations under the framework of composite null hypothesis testing.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Detecting trans-ethnic common associated genetic loci can offer important insights into shared genetic components underlying complex diseases/traits across diverse continental populations. However, effective statistical methods for such a goal are currently lacking. METHODS: By leveraging summary statistics available from global-scale genome-wide association studies, we herein proposed a novel genetic...
