Excited to share our latest work on the factors that determine what genes we find (and don't find!) in GWAS and burden tests. We describe a critical concept that we call *specificity*. Led by Jeff Spence and Hakhamanesh Mostafavi:
How do GWAS and rare variant burden tests rank gene signals? In new work @Nature with Jeff Spence, @jkpritch, and our wonderful coauthors we find the key factors are what we call Specificity, Length, and Luck! 🧬🧪🧵 https://t.co/rNzekB06la
