Laser capture microdissection of human pancreatic islets reveals novel eQTLs associated with type 2 diabetes
18 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genome wide association studies (GWAS) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) have identified genetic loci that often localise in non-coding regions of the genome, suggesting gene regulation effects. We combined genetic and transcriptomic analysis from human islets obtained from brain-dead organ donors or surgical patients to detect expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and shed light into the regulatory...
