Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk is heavily influenced by genetics, yet current association tests have explained only parts of its heritability. We developed MEVA (Meta-Evolutionary Action), a meta-analytic framework that integrates three complementary methods-EAML, Sigma-Diff, and GeneEMBED-to assess the functional burden of protein-coding variants using evolutionary data. MEVA was applied to exome data from...
