Isoform-level transcriptome-wide association uncovers genetic risk mechanisms for neuropsychiatric disorders in the human brain
Methods integrating genetics with transcriptomic reference panels prioritize risk genes and
mechanisms at only a fraction of trait-associated genetic loci, due in part to an overreliance …
