Integrating apaQTL and eQTL analysis identifies a potential causal variant associated with lung adenocarcinoma risk in the Chinese population

Abstract Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a crucial role in cancer biology. Here, we used data from the 3′aQTL-atlas, GTEx, and the China Nanjing Lung Cancer GWAS database to explore the association between apaQTL/eQTL-SNPs and the risk of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The variant T allele of r...
