Assigning association of a statistically significant variant to a potential causal gene is met with many challenges. The association could be affected by certain characteristics of the variant. I am trying to assess a method through which we could possibility assess what are those characteristics of a variant that might be instrumental in determining the degree of their association with any given disease condition. This could then potentially be indicative of the underlying biological process.
