gwasColocalisationForRegion {otargen}R Documentation

Retrieve GWAS colocalisation data for a genomic region .

Description

By providing a genomic region (chromosome name with start and end position), this function returns information about colocalisation between GWAS studies and associated loci within a specified genomic region. It provides details on the studies that have at least one overlapping associated locus within the region, allowing for the assessment of potential shared causal variants. The query output includes data such as the study identifiers, traits, loci information, and other relevant attributes.

Usage

gwasColocalisationForRegion(chromosome, start, end)

Arguments

chromosome

String: Chromosome number as a string.

start

Long: Start position of the specified chromosome.

end

Long: End position of the specified chromosome.

Value

Returns a data frame with the following columns:
