Abstract excerpt
Understanding the expression level and evolutionary rate of associated genes with human polygenic diseases provides crucial insights into their disease-contributing roles. In this work, we leveraged genome-wide association studies (GWASs) to investigate the relationship between the genetic association and both the evolutionary rate (dN/dS) and expression level of human genes associated with the two polygenic...
