Among the novel gene–phenotype associations discovered, FAM166C emerged as a candidate gene showing significant differential predicted expression in relation to complex cardiometabolic traits such as blood lipid levels, body mass index, blood pressure, and related biomarkers. Although its precise biological function remains to be fully determined, the association of FAM166C with these traits indicates that genetic variation influencing its expression may contribute to the underlying mechanisms of metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction. These findings not only demonstrate the utility of transcriptome‐imputation models for gene discovery but also highlight FAM166C as a promising target for further functional studies aimed at elucidating its role in cardiometabolic disease.\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Lauren E Petty, Heather M Highland, Eric R Gamazon, et al.
