Shared components of heritability across genetically correlated traits
2021-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Most disease-associated genetic variants are pleiotropic, affecting multiple genetically correlated traits. Their pleiotropic associations can be mechanistically informative: if many variants have similar patterns of association, they may act via similar pleiotropic mechanisms, forming a shared component of heritability. We developed Pleiotropic Decomposition Regression (PDR) to identify shared components and thei...
