Functional enrichments of disease variants across thousands of independent loci in eight diseases
For most complex traits, known genetic associations only explain a small fraction of the narrow sense heritability prompting intense debate on the genetic basis of complex traits. Joint analysis of all common variants together explains much of this missing heritability and reveals that large numbers of weakly associated loci are enriched in regulatory regions, but fails to identify specific reg...
متن کاملPartitioning heritability of regulatory and cell-type-specific variants across 11 common diseases.
Regulatory and coding variants are known to be enriched with associations identified by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of complex disease, but their contributions to trait heritability are currently unknown. We applied variance-component methods to imputed genotype data for 11 common diseases to partition the heritability explained by genotyped SNPs (hg(2)) across functional categories...
متن کاملSix Degrees of Epistasis: Statistical Network Models for GWAS
There is growing evidence that much more of the genome than previously thought is required to explain the heritability of complex phenotypes. Recent studies have demonstrated that numerous common variants from across the genome explain portions of genetic variability, spawning various avenues of research directed at explaining the remaining heritability. This polygenic structure is also the mot...
متن کاملContrasting the Genetic Architecture of 30 Complex Traits from Summary Association Data.
Variance-component methods that estimate the aggregate contribution of large sets of variants to the heritability of complex traits have yielded important insights into the genetic architecture of common diseases. Here, we introduce methods that estimate the total trait variance explained by the typed variants at a single locus in the genome (local SNP heritability) from genome-wide association...
متن کاملRare Variants in Transcript and Potential Regulatory Regions Explain a Small Percentage of the Missing Heritability of Complex Traits in Cattle.
The proportion of genetic variation in complex traits explained by rare variants is a key question for genomic prediction, and for identifying the basis of "missing heritability"--the proportion of additive genetic variation not captured by common variants on SNP arrays. Sequence variants in transcript and regulatory regions from 429 sequenced animals were used to impute high density SNP genoty...
