Higher eQTL power reveals signals that boost GWAS colocalization Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies in human cohorts typically detect at least one regulatory signal per gene, and have been proposed as a way to explain mechanisms of genetic liability...

Excited to share this preprint from first author Jon Rosen, a postdoctoral fellow in the @klmohlke.bsky.social lab and my lab. We examine eQTL study sample size and how this affects signal discovery and rates of colocalization with GWAS.

Iโ€™m grateful to my mentors, @alexisbattle.bsky.social (phd) and Alkes Price (post-doc).

My group will build new statistical and machine learning tools to uncover disease biology by integrating GWAS with functional omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, etc) data.

We will also explore applications in precision medicine.

I'm excited to share I'll be starting a faculty position at Boston Children's Hospital in the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) this October!!

Excited to share our work on using pathway-specific polygenic scores to discover gene-environment interactions www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
