Advancing risk gene discovery across the allele frequency spectrum.

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of genetic risk factors has transformed human genetics, yet the pace of new gene identification has slowed despite the exponential expansion of sequencing and biobank resources. Current approaches are optimized for the extremes of the allele frequency spectrum: rare, high-penetrance variants identified through burden testing and common, low-effect variants mapped by genome-wide association studies....
