Coding gene

Definition
AI-generated

Gene with a protein product (may include UTRs and introns).

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"Variants mapping to each coding gene were prioritized for interpretation of plausible protein-level mechanisms."
