Leveraging pleiotropy to discover and interpret GWAS results for sleep-associated traits
When studying genetic variants that associate with disease traits in humans, smaller-scale studies can often have inadequate power to discover new genetic associations. Here, Chun & Akle et al use a small genetic study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), to introduce a strategy that both helps find genetic associations and proposes biological hypotheses for the mechanisms behind those associations.
