Zhao J, Cheng F, Jia P, Cox N, Denny JC, Zhao Z. An integrative functional genomics framework for effective identification of novel regulatory variants in genome-phenome studies. Genome medicine. 2018 Jan 29;10(10). 7 p.
Abstract
Genome-phenome studies have identified thousands of variants that are statistically associated with disease or traits; however, their functional roles are largely unclear. A comprehensive investigation of regulatory mechanisms and the gene regulatory networks between phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) and genome-wide association study (GWAS) is needed to identify novel regulatory variants contributing to risk for human diseases.
