Cell-type specific eQTL of primary melanocytes facilitates identification of melanoma susceptibility genes

2017-12-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Most expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies to date have been performed in heterogeneous tissues as opposed to specific cell types. To better understand the cell-type specific regulatory landscape of human melanocytes, which give rise to melanoma but account for <5% of typical human skin biopsies, we performed an eQTL analysis in primary melanocyte cultures from 106 newborn males. We...
