Here we derive a mathematical expression to compute PrediXcan results without using individual level data, which greatly expands its applicability and is robust to study and reference set mismatches. This has not been done before. TWAS, which for the individual level approach only differs from PrediXcan on the prediction model used in the implementation, has been extended to use summary level data. When Gaussian imputation is used, the relationship between individual level and summary versions of TWAS is clear. This is not the case when extended to general weights (such as BSLMM). Our mathematical derivation shows the analytic difference between them explicitly.
