Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted primarily in European (EUR) populations, limiting insights into underrepresented groups such as East Asian (EAS), but cross-ancestry GWASs have demonstrated high trans-ethnic genetic similarity between EUR and non-EUR populations. To enhance association analysis power in EAS populations, we propose tranScore, a novel summary-statistics-based transfer...
