Functional Variants Identified Efficiently through an Integrated Transcriptome and Epigenome Analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci associated with complex diseases, the underlying molecular mechanisms of how these loci contribute to disease pathogenesis remain largely unknown, due to the lack of an efficient strategy to identify these risk variants. Here, we proposed a new strategy termed integrated transcriptome and epigenome analysis (iTEA) to identify...
