TS: A powerful truncated test to detect novel disease associated genes using publicly available gWAS summary data (open access)

TS: A powerful truncated test to detect novel disease associated genes using publicly available gWAS summary data

This article proposes a new truncated statistic method (TS) by utilizing a truncated method to find the genes that have a true contribution to the genetic association. The proposed truncated statistic outperforms existing methods. It can be employed to detect novel traits associated genes using GWAS summary data.
