ColocBoost provides a flexible framework to integrate data both at the individual level or at the summary statistic level, allowing the handling of scenarios where the individual data is available for some traits (like xQTLs) and the summary data is available for other traits (disease/trait GWAS). ```{r setup} library(colocboost) ``` # 1. Loading individual and summary statistics data To get started, load both `Ind_5traits` and `Sumstat_5traits` datasets into your R session. Once loaded, create a mixed dataset as follows: - For traits 1, 2, 3, 4: use individual level genotype and phenotype data. - For trait 5: use summary statistics data. - Note that `LD` could be calculated from the `X` data in the `Ind_5traits` dataset, but it is not included in the `Sumstat_5traits` dataset. ### Causal variant structure The dataset features two causal variants with indices 194 and 589. - Causal variant 194 is associated with traits 1, 2, 3, and 4. - Causal variant 589 is associated with traits 2, 3, and 5 (summary level data). ```{r load-mixed-data} # Load example data data(Ind_5traits) data(Sumstat_5traits) # Create a mixed dataset X <- Ind_5traits$X[1:4] Y <- Ind_5traits$Y[1:4] sumstat <- Sumstat_5traits$sumstat[5] LD <- get_cormat(Ind_5traits$X[[1]]) ``` For analyze a specific one type of data, you can refer to the following tutorials [Individual Level Data Colocalization](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Individual_Level_Colocalization.html) and [Summary Level Data Colocalization](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Summary_Level_Colocalization.html). Due to the file size limitation of CRAN release, this is a subset of simulated data. See full dataset in [colocboost paper repo](https://github.com/StatFunGen/colocboost-paper). # 2. ColocBoost in disease-agnostic mode The preferred format for colocalization analysis in ColocBoost using mixed-type dataset: - **Individual level data**: `X` and `Y` are organized as lists, matched by trait index, - `(X[1], Y[1])` contains individual level data for trait 1, - `(X[2], Y[2])` contains individual level data for trait 2, - And so on for each trait under analysis. - **Summary level data**: - `sumstat` is organized as a list of data.frames for all traits - `LD` is a matrix of linkage disequilibrium (LD) information for all variants across all traits. This function requires specifying genotypes `X` and phenotypes `Y` from the individual-level dataset and summary statistics `sumstat` and LD matrix `LD` from summary dataset: ```{r mixd-basic} # Run colocboost res <- colocboost(X = X, Y = Y, sumstat = sumstat, LD = LD) # Identified CoS res$cos_details$cos$cos_index ``` ### Results Interpretation For comprehensive tutorials on result interpretation and advanced visualization techniques, please visit our tutorials portal at [Visualization of ColocBoost Results](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Visualization_ColocBoost_Output.html) and [Interpret ColocBoost Output](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Interpret_ColocBoost_Output.html). # 3. ColocBoost in disease-prioritized mode When integrating with GWAS data, to mitigate the risk of biasing early updates toward stronger xQTL signals in LD proximity-and should in fact colocalize with-weaker signals from the disease trait of interest, we also implement a disease-prioritized mode of ColocBoost as a soft prioritization strategy to colocalize variants with putative causal effects on the focal trait. To run the disease-prioritized mode, you need to specify the `focal_outcome_idx` argument in the `colocboost()` function. - `focal_outcome_idx` indicates the index of the focal trait in all traits of interest. - Note that the `focal_outcome_idx` are counted from *individual level data* to *summary statistics*. Therefore, in this example, `focal_outcome_idx = 5` is used to indicate the index of the focal trait from (4 individual level traits) and (1 summary statistics). ```{r disease-basic} # Run colocboost res <- colocboost(X = X, Y = Y, sumstat = sumstat, LD = LD, focal_outcome_idx = 5) # Plotting the focal only results colocalization results colocboost_plot(res, plot_focal_only = TRUE) ``` Unlike the other existing methods, the disease-prioritized mode of ColocBoost only used a soft prioritization strategy. Therefore, it not only identify the colocalization of the focal trait, but also the colocalization across the other traits without the focal trait. To extract all CoS and visualization of all colocalization results, you can use the following code: ```{r all-basic} # Identified CoS res$cos_details$cos$cos_index # Plotting all results colocboost_plot(res) ``` ### Results Interpretation For comprehensive tutorials on result interpretation and advanced visualization techniques, please visit our tutorials portal at [Visualization of ColocBoost Results](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Visualization_ColocBoost_Output.html) and [Interpret ColocBoost Output](https://statfungen.github.io/colocboost/articles/Interpret_ColocBoost_Output.html).
