A new approach enhances Genome-Wide Association Studies by integrating cell‑type specific knowledge graphs, enabling researchers to link genetic variants to disease mechanisms more accurately. The method, called KGWAS, reduces spurious correlations that arise from generic knowledge bases, improving detection power worldwide.
