Integrating Functional Data to Prioritize Causal Variants in Statistical Fine-Mapping Studies

Standard statistical approaches for prioritization of variants for functional testing in fine-mapping studies either use marginal association statistics or estimate posterior probabilities for variants to be causal under simplifying assumptions. Here, we present a probabilistic framework that integr...
