Analysis of genetic dominance in the UK Biobank

2021-08-15

Abstract excerpt

Classical statistical genetic theory defines dominance as a deviation from a purely additive effect. Dominance is well documented in model organisms and plant/animal breeding; outside of rare monogenic traits, however, evidence in humans is limited. We evaluated dominance effects in >1,000 phenotypes in the UK Biobank through GWAS, identifying 175 genome-wide significant loci (P < 4.7 × 10 −11 ). Power to detect...
