Abstract excerpt
Understanding the functional mechanism of SNPs identified in GWAS on complex diseases is currently a challenging task. The studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) have shown that regulatory variants play a crucial role in the function of associated SNPs. Detecting significant genes (called eGenes) in eQTL studies and analyzing the effect sizes of cis-SNPs can offer important implications on the...
