Abstract excerpt
Human genetic variants are associated with many traits through largely unknown mechanisms. Here, combining approximately 260,000 Japanese study participants, a Japanese-specific genotype reference panel and statistical fine-mapping, we identified 4,423 significant loci across 63 quantitative traits, among which 601 were new, and 9,406 putatively causal variants. New associations included Japanese-specific coding,...
