Statistical fine-mapping of schizophrenia common risk loci using FINEMAP and SuSiE

Eleanor R. Mawson, Eilidh Fenner, James TR Walters, Michael C. O’Donovan, Antonio F. Pardiñas

This paper applies FINEMAP and SuSiE to fine-map schizophrenia risk loci, identifying new genes with high concordance between methods and validating them using LoFI and rare variant enrichment.
