Leveraging pleiotropy for joint analysis of genome-wide association studies with per trait interpretations.
We introduce pleiotropic association test (PAT) for joint analysis of multiple traits using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics. The method utilizes the decomposition of phenotypic covariation into genetic and environmental components to create a likelihood ratio test statistic f...
