Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases with an unclear aetiology. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analysis are inefficient in identifying shared variants. This study aims to identify shared genetic susceptibility for seven autoimmune diseases using sum of powered score (SPU) tests. GWAS summary statistics datasets of seven autoimmune diseases were downloaded from Open Targets...
