Cis-acting variation in the expression of a high proportion of genes in human brain.

Human genetics - 1 Jul 2003

Bray Nicholas J, Buckland Paul R, Owen Michael J, O'Donovan Michael C

Abstract excerpt

Much of the genetic component of human phenotypic diversity, including susceptibility to disease, is proposed to be the result of cis-acting influences on gene expression. If this hypothesis is correct, it implies that cis-acting regulatory variation is a common phenomenon. However, direct evidence in support of this view is scarce. We have applied highly quantitative measures of allele-specific expression in...
