Abstract excerpt
The large-scale open access whole-exome sequencing (WES) data of the UK Biobank ~200,000 participants is accelerating a new wave of genetic association studies aiming to identify rare and functional loss-of-function (LoF) variants associated with complex traits and diseases. We proposed to merge the WES genotypes and the genome-wide genotyping (GWAS) genotypes of 167,000 UKB homogeneous European participants into...
