Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region plays an important role in human health through its involvement in immune cell recognition and maturation. While genetic variation in the HLA region is associated with many diseases, the pleiotropic patterns of these associations have not been systematically investigated. Here, we developed a haplotype approach to investigate disease associations phenome wide for 412,181...
