Chunk #60 — WHAT IS KNOWN FROM GWAS STUDIES
Text
As all the reported variants in the GWAS Catalog are annotated based on their genetic position, we estimated that the 3.7% of the 57,671 variants included in this dataset are localised in the UTRs. In particular, 1,652 of them map in the 3′UTR, representing 2.9% of the total variants, while 442 are in the 5′UTR, reaching the 0.8% (table 1).
