Common and rare genetic variants show network convergence for a majority of human traits.

Abstract excerpt

While both common and rare variants contribute to the genetic etiology of complex traits, whether their impacts manifest through the same effector genes and molecular mechanisms is not well understood. Here, we systematically analyze common and rare variants associated with each of 373 phenotypic traits within a large biological knowledge network of gene and protein interactions. While common and rare variants...
