Often at a region of genetic association with phenotype, there will be many variants that are statistically significant. Although, sometimes there are instances where one coding SNP is the only variant at the locus, these are quite rare overall.
Finemapping takes all the variants that are significant at a locus and assigns a probability that each is the causal variant. Any variants that are assigned a non-zero probability are then part of a "credible set", this credible set is displayed in PheWeb (refer to ) and is also used in calculating colocalization.
