Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for atopic dermatitis (AD) have uncovered 81 risk loci in European participants; however, translating these findings into functional and therapeutic insights remains challenging. We conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) in AD leveraging cis-eQTL data from sun exposed (n = 517), non-sun exposed skin (n = 602) and whole blood (n = 670) tissues and the latest...
