Proteome-wide association study (PWAS) integrating proteomics data with GWAS data is a powerful tool to identify risk genes for complex diseases, which can inform disease mechanisms with genetic effects mediated through protein abundance. We propose a novel omnibus method to improve PWAS power by modeling unknown genetic architectures with multiple statistical models. We applied TIGAR, PrediXcan, and FUSION to train protein abundance imputation models for 8,430 proteins from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with whole genome sequencing data (n=355). Next, the trained models were integrated with GWAS summary data of Alzheimers disease (AD) dementia (n=762,917) to conduct PWAS. Last, we employed the Aggregated Cauchy Association Test to obtain omnibus PWAS (PWAS-O) p-values from these three models. PWAS-O identified 43 risk genes of AD dementia including 5 novel risk genes that were interconnected through a protein-protein interaction network including TOMM40, APOC1, and APOC2. PWAS-O can be easily applied to study complex diseases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
