Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify multiple susceptibility loci, but most map to noncoding regions, leaving variant-to-gene links unresolved. In this study, a genome-wide regulatory map is constructed using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis of 482 pancreatic tissues, and integrated with a GWAS meta-analysis to prioritize...
