Despite the great success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in identifying genetic loci significantly associated with diseases, the vast majority of causal variants underlying disease-associated loci have not been identified1-3. To create an atlas of causal variants, we performed and integrated fine-mapping across 148 complex traits in three large-scale biobanks (BioBank Japan4,5, FinnGen6, and UK Biobank7,8; total n = 811,261), resulting in 4,518 variant-trait pairs with high posterior ...
