These are computationally convenient and portable, but the discoveries are not immediately interpretable and require post-processing such as \u201cclumping\u201d and \u201cfine mapping.\u201d An interesting alternative is provided by conditional independence hypotheses: their rejections lead to distinct signals across the genome, accounting for measured confounders and pointing to separate causal pathways. Recent work has shown how summary statistics resulting from the standard marginal GWAS can be used as input to test conditional independence hypotheses while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). We previously developed a pipeline tailored to European genomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here we introduce and release new software (solveblock) extending this capability to a much richer collection of studies. Given a set of genotyped samples, or a reference dataset, the new pipeline efficiently estimates the high-dimensional correlation matrices that describe dependencies across the genome, making rather common sparsity assumptions. Taking this sample-specific estimate as input, the software identifies groups of genetic variants that are highly correlated and uses them to define an appropriate resolution for conditional independence hypotheses. Finally, we compute the distribution for the exchangeable negative controls necessary to test these hypotheses. Simulations based on five UK Biobank sub-populations, illustrate the method\u2019s FDR control. The analysis of 26 phenotypes of varying polygenicity in British individuals, results in \u224819 additional discoveries, compared to standard marginal association testing.<\/jats:p>\n
