A plethora of pleiotropy across complex traits

Peter M Visscher et al. Nat Genet. .

Abstract

A new analysis has identified hundreds of loci that are associated with multiple traits or diseases by comparing genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for 42 complex traits. The study uses the power of GWAS to provide evidence of pairs of traits with a likely causal relationship.
