Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elucidating the genetic basis underlying hepatic gene expression variability is of importance to understand the aetiology of the disease and variation in drug metabolism. To date, no genome-wide expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) analysis has been conducted in the Han Chinese population, the largest ethnic group in the world. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide eQTL mapping in a set of Han...
