Whole-genome sequencing analysis identifies rare, large-effect noncoding variants and regulatory regions associated with circulating protein levels.

Abstract excerpt

The contribution of rare noncoding genetic variation to common phenotypes is largely unknown, as a result of a historical lack of population-scale whole-genome sequencing data and the difficulty of categorizing noncoding variants into functionally similar groups. To begin addressing these challenges, we performed a cis association analysis using whole-genome sequencing data, consisting of 1.1 billion variants,...
