Identifying gene targets for brain-related traits using transcriptomic and methylomic data from blood
To comprehend the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying brain-related traits in humans, Qi et al. estimate the correlation of expression and DNA methylation QTL effects in cis between blood and brain and show that using blood eQTL/mQTL data of large sample size can increase power in gene discove...

Sumario: | To comprehend the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying brain-related traits in humans, Qi et al. estimate the correlation of expression and DNA methylation QTL effects in cis between blood and brain and show that using blood eQTL/mQTL data of large sample size can increase power in gene discovery for brain-related traits and diseases. |
