Genome-wide analyses for personality traits identify six genomic loci and show correlations with psychiatric disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Personality is influenced by genetic and environmental factors1 and associated with mental health. However, the underlying genetic determinants are largely unknown.

Comparing allele specific expression and local expression quantitative trait loci and the influence of gene expression on complex trait variation in cattle

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
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 ...

A robust two‐sample transcriptome‐wide Mendelian randomization method integrating GWAS with multi‐tissue eQTL summary statistics

open access: yesGenetic Epidemiology, 2021
By treating genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs), two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods detect genetically regulated risk exposures for complex diseases using only summary statistics.

Immunosuppression causes dynamic changes in expression QTLs in psoriatic skin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
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.

Unraveling the polygenic architecture of complex traits using blood eQTL metaanalysis

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Summary While many disease-associated variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies, their downstream molecular consequences remain unclear.

An optimal variant to gene distance window derived from an empirical definition of cis and trans protein QTLs

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2022
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.

Novel Functional eQTL-SNPs Associated With Susceptibility to Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia in Children

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
BackgroundThe functional causal single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with susceptibility to Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia (MPP) have scarcely been identified.

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization integrating GWAS, eQTL and pQTL data revealed GSTM4 as a potential drug target for migraine

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain
Introduction Migraine, as a complex neurological disease, brings heavy burden to patients and society. Despite the availability of established therapies, existing medications have limited efficacy. Thus, we aimed to find the drug targets that improve the

Mapping Genetic Regulation of Transcription to Identify Functional Variants and Genes Associated with Pancreatic Cancer Risk

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integration of a pancreatic eQTL map with a GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 82 putative functional variants and 15 genes. The association between rs11102484 and pancreatic cancer risk is observed in a total of 5699 cases and 8467 controls. The G allele of rs11102484 weakens ZNF263 binding and the silencer‐promoter interaction, thereby increasing ST7L ...

Trans-eQTL mapping in gene sets identifies network effects of genetic variants

open access: yesbioRxiv
Nearly all trait-associated variants identified in GWAS are non-coding. The cis regulatory effects of these variants have been extensively characterized, but how they impact gene regulation in trans has been the subject of much fewer studies.
