Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The vast majority of trait-associated variants identified using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are noncoding, and therefore assumed to impact gene regulation. However, the majority of trait-associated loci are unexplained by regulatory quantitative trait loci (QTLs). RESULTS: We perform a comprehensive characterization of the putative mechanisms by which GWAS loci impact human immune traits....
