Abstract excerpt
In a standard analysis, pleiotropic variants are identified by running separate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and combining results across traits. But such statistical approach based on marginal summary statistics may lead to spurious results. We propose a new statistical approach, Debiased-regularized Factor Analysis Regression Model (DrFARM), through a joint regression model for simultaneous analysis...
