Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) etiology is complex. We developed a machine learning approach that ranked the tissue-specific transcription regulatory effects for T1D SNPs and estimated their relative contributions to conversion to T1D by integrating case and control genotypes (Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium and UK Biobank) with tissue-specific expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data. Here we show an eQTL...
