Heritability enrichment of specifically expressed genes identifies disease-relevant tissues and cell types

2017-01-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Genetics can provide a systematic approach to discovering the tissues and cell types relevant for a complex disease or trait. Identifying these tissues and cell types is critical for following up on non-coding allelic function, developing ex-vivo models, and identifying therapeutic targets. Here, we analyze gene expression data from several sources, including the GTEx and PsychENCODE consortia,...
