Epistasis and destabilizing mutations shape gene expression variability in humans via distinct modes of action.

Abstract excerpt

Increasing evidence shows that phenotypic variance is genetically determined, but the underlying mechanisms of genetic control over the variance remain obscure. Here, we conducted variance-association mapping analyses to identify expression variability QTLs (evQTLs), i.e. genomic loci associated with gene expression variance, in humans. We discovered that common genetic variants may contribute to increasing gene...
