Abstract excerpt
Understanding how genetic variation shapes tissue structure is crucial for disease biology, yet scalable, general-purpose frameworks for genetic analysis of histology traits are lacking. We present HistoGWAS, a framework for genome-wide association studies of histology data that leverages foundation models for automated trait definition, variance component models for efficient association testing, and generative...
