Source

Integration of GWAS SNPs and tissue specific expression profiling reveal discrete eQTLs for human traits in blood and brain.

Overall this data suggests that while some eQTLs are consistent between tissues, there is a subset where a genetic effect on gene expression exists in one tissue context but not the other, despite probe detection in both instances.
