Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely implicated in human disease, yet whether it plays a causal role and why effects are tissue-specific remain unclear. Here, we analyse over 15,000 RNA-sequencing datasets from 49 tissue types integrated with germline genetic data to investigate the impact of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcription on disease risk. We identify 25 nuclear genetic variants associated with mtDNA...
