Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of disease-associated loci, yet their biological interpretation remains limited. We propose joint pleiotropic and epigenomic partitioning (J-PEP), a clustering framework that integrates pleiotropic SNP effects on auxiliary traits and tissue-specific epigenomic data to partition disease-associated loci into biologically distinct clusters. We introduce a...
