Deskripsi

While genome-wide association studies have yielded thousands of trait-associated loci, identifying causal variants remains challenging. Here, the authors perform seven genomics assays in various cell types to prioritize genetic variants in the TNFAIP3 locus, and report high-priority variants within disease-associated haplotypes.
