Statistical Colocalization of Genetic Risk Variants for Related Autoimmune Diseases in the Context of Common Controls
2015-06-08
Abstract excerpt
Identifying whether potential causal variants for related diseases are shared can increase understanding of the shared etiology between diseases. Colocalization methods are designed to disentangle shared and distinct causal variants in regions where two diseases show association, but existing methods are limited by assuming independent datasets. We extended existing methods to allow for the shared control design c...
