A framework for conducting time-varying genome-wide association studies: An application to body mass index across childhood in six multiethnic cohorts
2024-03-16
Abstract excerpt
Genetic effects on changes in human traits over time are understudied and may have important pathophysiological impact. We propose a framework that enables data quality control, implements mixed models to evaluate trajectories of change in traits, and estimates phenotypes to identify age-varying genetic effects in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Using childhood body mass index (BMI) as an example, we incl...
