Scaling genetic discovery for organ volumes using machine learning-assisted imputation and bias-corrected GWAS

Afreen Naz, Brandon J. Whitcher, Altayeb Ahmed, Marjola Thanaj, Elena P. Sorokin, Jimmy David Bell, Elizabeth Louise Thomas, Madeleine Cule, Hanieh Yaghootkar

This paper uses machine learning to impute MRI-derived organ volumes and applies bias-corrected GWAS to identify genetic loci associated with these traits across 450,000 individuals.
