Bone Mineral Density SPrediXcan and SMultiXcan

BMD GWAS from Morris et al. summary stats

Adapted from the tutorial using GTEx v8 MASH models

Subsets a full summary stats file to only the needed column for SPrediXcan including effect allele, non-effect allele, chromosome, position, standard error, and effect size. It will output a tab delimited file, which is required for SPrediXcan.

Formats the GWAS summary statistics for the MetaXcan pipeline including creating a panel_variant_id.

Imputes summary statistics. "Summary statistics imputation works in a "region-wide" approach, each region a conceptual computation unit. Imputation takes all variants from the GTEx reference in a chromosomal region (we use Berisa-Pickrell LD blocks) and impute missing GWAS variants using present GWAS variants and genotypes from GTEx. Our implementation allows to split the imputation of a full GWAS in "sub-batches", i.e. just imputing for a few regions. By splitting the execution in smaller units, we can parallelize in an HPC environment."

The imputation script splits jobs into smaller units. This script gathers them together and processes them.

Runs SPrediXcan on each of the 49 tissues in GTEx v8 using a loop. 49 tissues are listed in tissue_list.txt

Runs MultiXcan using SPrediXcan outputs from each of the 49 tissues. MultiXcan leverages multiple tissues simultaneously, exploiting cross-tissue QTL sharing.
