Fish and chips: the origin of human gene families is a predictor of the location of GWAS signals

2021-09-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>GWAS have identified thousands of loci associated with human complex diseases and traits. How these loci are distributed through the genome has not been systematically evaluated. We hypothesised that the location of GWAS loci differ between ancestral linkage groups (ALGs) related to the paralogy and function of genes. We used data from the NHGRI-EBI GWAS catalog to determine whether the...
