A fast and efficient colocalization algorithm for identifying shared genetic risk factors across multiple traits

Statistical colocalisation is a method to identify causal genes and shared genetic aetiology across traits. Here, the authors describe HyPrColoc, an efficient Bayesian divisive clustering algorithm which integrates summary statistics from genome-wide association studies to detect clusters of colocal...
