Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the genetic regulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression in monocytes and its potential role in musculoskeletal diseases. We mapped expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for miRNAs using data from 281 Caucasian (CAU) and 170 African American (AA) individuals, constructed ancestry-specific models to impute miRNA expression from genotype data, and applied these models to test associations...
