Quantifying the degree of sharing of genetic and non-genetic causes of gene expression variability across four tissues

2016-05-13

Abstract excerpt

Gene expression can provide biological mechanisms which underlie genetic associations with complex traits and diseases, but often the most relevant tissue for the trait is inaccessible and a proxy is the only alternative. Here, we investigate shared and tissue specific patterns of variability in expression in multiple tissues, to quantify the degree of sharing of causes (genetic or non-genetic) of variability in g...
