Genetics of gene expression in primary immune cells identifies cell type-specific master regulators and roles of HLA alleles.

Trans-acting genetic variants have a substantial, albeit poorly characterized, role in the heritable determination of gene expression. Using paired purified primary monocytes and B cells, we identify new predominantly cell type-specific cis and trans expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), inclu...
