Fine-mapping in admixed populations using CARMA-X, with applications to Latin American studies.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in ancestrally diverse populations are rapidly expanding, opening up unique opportunities for novel gene discoveries and increased utility of genetic findings in non-European individuals. A popular technique to identify putative causal variants at GWAS loci is via statistical fine-mapping. Despite tremendous efforts, fine-mapping remains a very challenging task, even in the...
