Environmental effects on gene expression phenotype have regional biases in the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic discordance between monozygotic twins, such as a difference in disease susceptibility, implicates the role of the environment in determining phenotype. To assess genomewide environmental effects on "gene expression phenotype," we employed a published microarray data set for twins. We found that variations in expression phenotypes between monozygotic twins have biases in their chromosomal locations....
