A deep learning method for HLA imputation and trans-ethnic MHC fine-mapping of type 1 diabetes

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes contribute to risk of many complex traits, yet understanding inter-ethnic heterogeneity is computationally challenging. Here, the authors develop DEEP*HLA for imputation of HLA genotypes and show its ability to disentangle HLA variant risk effects in diverse popul...
