MiXcan: a framework for cell-type-aware transcriptome-wide association studies with an application to breast cancer

Conventional transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) approaches predict genetically regulated gene expression at the tissue level. Here, the authors develop a framework for cell-type-aware TWAS that predicts cell-type level expression from genotype data and identifies disease-associated genes wi...
