Abstract excerpt
Despite neurobiological overlap, alcohol use disorder (AUD) and body mass index (BMI) show minimal genetic correlation (rg), possibly due to mixed directions of shared variants. Here we applied MiXeR to investigate shared genetic architecture between AUD and BMI, conjunctional false discovery rate to detect shared loci and their directional effect, local analysis of (co)variant association for local rg,...
