LD score regression distinguishes confounding from polygenicity in genome-wide association studies :
Brendan Bulik-Sullivan,Po-Ru Loh,Hilary K. Finucane,Stephan Ripke,Jian Yang,Nick Patterson,Mark J. Daly,Alkes L. Price,Benjamin M. Neale +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that polygenicity accounts for the majority of the inflation in test statistics in many GWAS of large sample size, and the LD Score regression intercept can be used to estimate a more powerful and accurate correction factor than genomic control.
Journal ArticleDOI
An atlas of genetic correlations across human diseases and traits.

TL;DR: This work introduces a technique—cross-trait LD Score regression—for estimating genetic correlation that requires only GWAS summary statistics and is not biased by sample overlap, and uses this method to estimate 276 genetic correlations among 24 traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A measure of dependence for two-variable relationships: the maximal information coefficient (MIC), which captures a wide range of associations both functional and not, and for functional relationships provides a score that roughly equals the coefficient of determination of the data relative to the regression function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partitioning heritability by functional annotation using genome-wide association summary statistics.

TL;DR: A new method is introduced, stratified LD score regression, for partitioning heritability from GWAS summary statistics while accounting for linked markers, which is computationally tractable at very large sample sizes and leverages genome-wide information.
