Estimating the causal tissues for complex traits and diseases

2016-09-11

Abstract excerpt

Interpretation of biological causes of the predisposing markers identified through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) remains an open question 1 . One direct and powerful way to assess the genetic causality behind GWAS is through expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) 2 . Here we describe a novel approach to estimate the tissues giving rise to the genetic causality behind a wide variety of GWAS traits, u...
