Multitrait transcriptome‐wide association study (TWAS) tests
Genetic Epidemiology, 2021AbstractMultitrait tests can improve power to detect associations between individual single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and several related traits. Here, we develop methods for multi‐SNP transcriptome‐wide association (TWAS) tests to test the association between predicted gene expression levels and multiple phenotypes.

Transcriptome‐Wide Association Studies (TWAS): Methodologies, Applications, and Challenges
Current ProtocolsAbstractTranscriptome‐wide association study (TWAS) methodologies aim to identify genetic effects on phenotypes through the mediation of gene transcription. In TWAS, in silico models of gene expression are trained as functions of genetic variants and then applied to genome‐wide association study (GWAS) data.

TRANSCRIPTOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES: CHALLENGES, SOLUTIONS, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
2021Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of thousands ofvariants associated with a broad range of complex traits. However, the biological mechanismsunderlying these associations remain largely unknown. Transcriptome-wide associationstudies (TWAS) are a gene-based method which can provide insight into these mechanismsby leveraging
