A genome-wide association study identifies protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs).

A genome-wide association study identifies protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs).

There is considerable evidence that human genetic variation influences gene expression. Genome-wide studies have revealed that mRNA levels are associated with genetic variation in or close to the gene coding for those mRNA transcripts - cis effects, and elsewhere in the genome - trans effects. The r...
