Abstract:
:We consider resequencing studies of associated loci and the problem of prioritizing sequence variants for functional follow-up. Working within the multivariate linear regression framework helps us to account for the joint effects of multiple genes; and adopting a Bayesian approach leads to posterior probabilities that coherently incorporate all information about the variants' function. We describe two novel prior distributions that facilitate learning the role of each variable site by borrowing evidence across phenotypes and across mutations in the same gene. We illustrate their potential advantages with simulations and reanalyzing a data set of sequencing variants.
