QTL lookup

Description

This function takes MR results (involving pQTL/QTL) to look up QTLs in trait GWASs given a P value and linkage disequilibrium (LD) cutoffs. The rationale is that a pQTL may not necessarily be in strong LD with QTL but some other independent signal in the same region. The interest then lands on association signals below a given P value (p_threshold) and above a given LD (r2_threshold) thresholds.

Usage

qtl_lookup(
  d,
  dat,
  panel = "1000Genomes",
  p_threshold = 0.001,
  r2_threshold = 0.8,
  pop = "EUR",
  plink_bin = NULL,
  r = NULL,
  r2 = NULL,
  xlsx = NULL
)

Arguments

d

directory where dat (below) is held.

dat

MR results (protein, id, pqtl,p, qtl, p_qtl) whose proxy, p_proxy and rsq variables will be updated.

panel

reference panel.

p_threshold

cutoff of QTL association from trait GWASs.

r2_threshold

cutoff of r^2.

pop

reference population from 1000Genomes for LD calculation.

plink_bin

PLINK executable file whose binary files are indicated in bfile variable of dat.

r

when specified, the LD(r) is output.

r2

when specified, the LD(r^2) is output.

xlsx

a non-null specification indicates name of an output Excel workbook.

Value

A data.frame containing the looked up loci.
