Abstract excerpt
With increasing access to individual-level data from genome-wide association studies, it is now common for researchers to have individual-level data of some traits, whereas for other traits only publicly released summary statistics are available due to privacy and safety concerns. Current genetic-correlation methods require both traits to be in the same format. When one trait has individual-level data and the...
