Retrieve genes from the MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) region.
MHC_genes
An object of class data.table (inherits from data.frame) with 805 rows and 16 columns.
MHC_genes <- get_mhc_genes()
usethis::use_data(MHC_genes, overwrite = TRUE)
The MHC region tends to be ubiquitously associated with all GWAS, so removing it allows us to focus on non-MHC signals of interest. For further information related to the MHC region, see the sources below.
