coloc

The coloc package can be used to perform genetic colocalisation analysis of two potentially related phenotypes, to ask whether they share common genetic causal variant(s) in a given region.

For usage and background, see the vignette at https://chr1swallace.github.io/coloc

Key references are:

• original propostion of proportional colocalisation Plagnol et al (2009)
• proportional colocalisation with type 1 error rate control Wallace et al (2013)
• colocalisation by enumerating all the possible causal SNP configurations between two traits, assuming at most one causal variant per trait Giambartolomei et al (2013)
