Conditional and joint (COJO) analysis of genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) independently associated with a trait is standard in post-GWAS pipelines. GWAS meta-analyses are increasingly conducted across multiple ancestry groups but how to perform COJO in a multi-ancestry context is not known. Here we introduce Manc-COJO, a method for multi-ancestry COJO analysis. Simulations and real-data analyses show that Manc-COJO improves the detection of independent association signals and reduces false positives compared to COJO and ad hoc adaptations for multi-ancestry use. We also introduce Manc-COJO:MDISA, a follow-up within ancestry algorithm to identify ancestry-specific associations after fitting Manc-COJO identified SNPs. The C++ implementation of Manc-COJO substantially improves on computational efficiency (for single ancestry >120 times faster than GCTA-COJO software) and supports linkage disequilibrium references derived either from individual-level genotype data or pre-computed matrices, facilitating analysis when data sharing is limited.

"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.
