Abstract:Over recent decades, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have dramatically changed the understanding of human genetics. A recent genetic data release by UK Biobank has allowed many researchers worldwide to have comprehensive look into the genetic architecture of thousands of human phenotypes. In this study, we developed a novel statistical framework to assess phenome-wide significance and genetic pleiotropy across the human phenome based on GWAS summary statistics. We demonstrate widespread sharing of genet… Show more
