The length of the expressed 3’ UTR is an intermediate molecular phenotype linking genetic variants to complex diseases

2019-02-05

Abstract excerpt

In the last decades, genome wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered tens of thousands of associations between common genetic variants and complex diseases. However, these statistical associations can rarely be interpreted functionally and mechanistically. As the majority of the disease-associated variants are located far from coding sequences, even the relevant gene is often unclear. A way to gain insight i...
