Abstract excerpt
GATA3 is essential for T cell differentiation and is surrounded by genome-wide association study (GWAS) hits for immune traits. Interpretation of these GWAS hits is challenging because gene expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies lack power to detect variants with small effects on gene expression in specific cell types and the genome region containing GATA3 contains dozens of potential regulatory...
