Abstract excerpt
Epilepsy is clinically heterogeneous and frequently drug-resistant, motivating genetics-informed target prioritization with clinical tractability. Two-sample Mendelian randomization using whole-blood cis-eQTL instruments estimated associations between genetically proxied gene expression and the odds of epilepsy in FinnGen R11 (14,089 cases). For MR-prioritized genes, Bayesian colocalization assessed whether eQTL...
