Most genome-wide association studies consider genes that are located closest to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are highly significant for those studies.

HT-eQTL: integrative expression quantitative trait loci analysis in a large number of human tissues
Background Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis identifies genetic markers associated with the expression of a gene. Most existing eQTL analyses and methods investigate association in a single, readily available tissue, such as blood. Joint

Fifteen new risk loci for coronary artery disease highlight arterial-wall-specific mechanisms [PDF]
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although 58 genomic regions have been associated with CAD thus far, most of the heritability is unexplained, indicating that additional susceptibility loci await ...

Contribution of trans regulatory eQTL to cryptic genetic variation in C. elegans
Background Cryptic genetic variation (CGV) is the hidden genetic variation that can be unlocked by perturbing normal conditions. CGV can drive the emergence of novel complex phenotypes through changes in gene expression.

Background The mutations changing the expression level of a gene, or expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), can be identified by testing the association between genetic variants and gene expression in multiple individuals (eQTL mapping), or by ...

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

Immunosuppression causes dynamic changes in expression QTLs in psoriatic skin
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory condition primarily affecting skin. While the role of the immune compartment (e.g., T cells) is well established, the changes in the skin compartment are more poorly understood.

Mapping the genetic architecture of gene expression in human liver [PDF]
Genetic variants that are associated with common human diseases do not lead directly to disease, but instead act on intermediate, molecular phenotypes that in turn induce changes in higher-order disease traits.

Background A genome-wide association study (GWAS) correlates variation in the genotype with variation in the phenotype across a cohort, but the causal gene mediating that impact is often unclear.
