PWAS: proteome-wide association study—linking genes and phenotypes by functional variation in proteins [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2020 We introduce Proteome-Wide Association Study (PWAS), a new method for detecting gene-phenotype associations mediated by protein function alterations. PWAS aggregates the signal of all variants jointly affecting a protein-coding gene and assesses their ...
