A Regression-Based Approach to Robust Estimation and Inference for Genetic Covariance
基于回归的遗传协方差稳健估计与推断
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with complex traits, and some variants are shown to be associated with multiple complex traits. Genetic covariance between two traits is defined as the underlying covariance of genetic effects and can be used to measure the shared genetic architecture. The data used to estimate such a genetic covariance can be from the same group or different groups of individuals, and the traits…
