Genetic study of circulating cytokines offers insight into the determinants, cascades and effects of systemic inflammation
2020-10-31
Abstract excerpt
Cytokines are the signalling molecules that underlie inflammatory processes. Here, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses of 47 circulating cytokines in up to 13,365 individuals to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL). Applying a novel approach, we incorporated pQTL and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data of 10,361 tissue samples in 635 individuals to identify biologically...
