Discovery and validation of sub-threshold genome-wide association study loci using epigenomic signatures

Genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies explain only a modest proportion of heritability, suggesting that meaningful associations lie 'hidden' below current thresholds. Here, we integrate information from association studies with epigenomic maps to demonstrate that e...
