Investigation of multi-trait associations using pathway-based analysis of GWAS summary statistics

Abstract

Our study revealed that risk variants for 25 different traits aggregated in particular biological pathways and that these pathways were frequently shared among traits. Our results confirmed known mechanisms and also suggested several novel insights into the etiology of multi-traits.
