Partitioning and aggregating cross-tissue and tissue-specific genetic effects in identifying gene-trait associations

2023-12-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have shown great promises in extending GWAS loci to a functional understanding of disease mechanisms. In an effort to fully unleash the TWAS and GWAS information, we propose MTWAS, a statistical framework that partitions and aggregates cross-tissue and tissue-specific genetic effects in identifying gene-trait associations. Different from pre...
