Abstract excerpt
Local genetic correlation analysis is an important tool for identifying genetic loci with shared biology across traits. Recently, Border et al. have shown that the results of these analyses are confounded by cross-trait assortative mating (xAM), leading to many false-positive findings. Here, we describe LAVA-Knock, a local genetic correlation method that builds off an existing genetic correlation method, LAVA,...
