Disease-specific prioritization of non-coding GWAS variants based on chromatin accessibility.

Abstract excerpt

Non-protein-coding genetic variants are a major driver of the genetic risk for human disease; however, identifying which non-coding variants contribute to diseases and their mechanisms remains challenging. In silico variant prioritization methods quantify a variant's severity, but for most methods, the specific phenotype and disease context of the prediction remain poorly defined. For example, many commonly used...
