Genetic regulation of RNA splicing in human pancreatic islets
15 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Non-coding genetic variants that influence gene transcription in pancreatic islets play a major role in the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D), and likely also contribute to type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. For many loci, however, the mechanisms through which non-coding variants influence diabetes susceptibility are unknown. RESULTS: We examine splicing QTLs (sQTLs) in pancreatic islets from 399 human...
