Abstract excerpt
Most GWAS loci are presumed to affect gene regulation; however, only ∼43% colocalize with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). To address this colocalization gap, we map eQTLs, chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs), and histone acetylation QTLs (haQTLs) using molecular samples from three early developmental-like tissues. Through colocalization, we annotate 10.4% (n = 540) of GWAS loci in 15 traits by QTL...
