Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease?

I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

Take a look.
