Abstract excerpt
Liver, a heterogeneous tissue consisting of various cell types, is known to be relevant for blood lipid traits. By integrating summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lipid traits and single-cell transcriptome data of the liver, we sought to identify specific cell types in the liver that were most relevant for blood lipid levels. We conducted differential expression analyses for 40 cell...
