Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are commonly employed to study the genetic basis of complex traits/diseases, and a key question is how much heritability could be explained by all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GWAS. One widely used approach that relies on summary statistics only is linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC); however, this approach requires certain assumptions about the...
