Towards improved fine-mapping of candidate causal variants.

Abstract excerpt

Fine-mapping in genome-wide association studies aims to identify potentially causal genetic variants among a set of candidate variants that are often highly correlated with each other owing to linkage disequilibrium. A variety of statistical approaches are used in fine-mapping, almost all of which are based on a multiple regression framework to model the relationship between genotype and phenotype, while...
