Analysis of Brugada syndrome loci reveals that fine-mapping clustered GWAS hits enhances the annotation of disease-relevant variants

Summary: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are instrumental in identifying loci harboring common single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) that affect human traits and diseases. GWAS hits emerge in clusters, but the focus is often on the most significant hit in each trait- or disease-associated locus....
