PrediXcan

PrediXcan is a statistical method used in genetics to understand how variations in genes can affect traits or diseases. It combines genetic data with information about gene activity to predict the impact of specific genetic variants on traits such as height, weight, or the risk of diseases. By leveraging large datasets, PrediXcan can identify associations between genes and traits, helping researchers pinpoint potential biological mechanisms and enhance our understanding of how genetics contribute to health. This approach is significant in personalized medicine, where genetic insights can inform tailored treatments.
