Evaluation of Sex-Aware PrediXcan Models for Predicting Gene Expression.

Abstract excerpt

Gene-based methods such as PrediXcan use expression quantitative trait loci to build tissue-specific gene expression models when only genetic data is available. There are known sex differences in tissue-specific gene expression and in the genetic architecture of gene expression, but such differences have not been incorporated into predicted gene expression models to date. We built sex-aware PrediXcan models using...
