Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 200 genomic loci for breast cancer risk, but specific causal genes in most of these loci have not been identified. In fact, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) of breast cancer performed using gene expression prediction models trained in breast tissue have yet to clearly identify most target genes. To identify candidate genes, we...
