Where are the disease-associated eQTLs?
Most disease-associated variants, although located in putatively regulatory regions, do not
have detectable effects on gene expression. One explanation could be that we have not …

A genome-wide association study with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease
Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a prevalent age-related polygenic disease that accounts
for 50–70% of dementia cases. Currently, only a fraction of the genetic variants underlying …

Large-scale cis- and trans-eQTL analyses identify thousands of genetic loci and polygenic scores that regulate blood gene expression
Trait-associated genetic variants affect complex phenotypes primarily via regulatory
mechanisms on the transcriptome. To investigate the genetics of gene expression, we …
