Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of disease-associated loci, yet their interpretation remains limited by the heterogeneity of underlying biological processes. We propose Joint Pleiotropic and Epigenomic Partitioning (J-PEP), a clustering framework that integrates pleiotropic SNP effects on auxiliary traits and tissue-specific epigenomic data to partition disease-associated loci into biologically distinct clusters. To benchmark J-PEP against existing methods, we in...
