Heritability informed power optimization (HIPO) leads to enhanced detection of genetic associations across multiple traits.

Genome-wide association studies have shown that pleiotropy is a common phenomenon that can potentially be exploited for enhanced detection of susceptibility loci. We propose heritability informed power optimization (HIPO) for conducting powerful pleiotropic analysis using summary-level association s...
