Abstract excerpt
We present a whole-blood isoform ratio QTL (irQTL) resource by analyzing genome-wide isoform-to-gene expression ratios using sequencing data. In Framingham Heart Study (FHS, n = 2622) discovery, we identify over 1.1 million cis-irQTLs (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≥ 0.01, ±1 Mb of 10,883 isoform transcripts, P < 5 × 10-8) across 4,971 genes. Among 11,425 sentinel cis-irQTLs, 72% replicate (P < 1 × 10-4) in the...
