Abstract excerpt
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) aim to integrate genome-wide association studies with expression-mapping studies to identify genes with genetically predicted expression (GReX) associated with a complex trait. In the present report, we develop a method, GIFT (gene-based integrative fine-mapping through conditional TWAS), that performs conditional TWAS analysis by explicitly controlling for GReX of...
