Chunk #26 — Results — eQTL discovery for genes with expression restricted to blood or brain

Source

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

Text

Given that there were differences in gene expression between tissues (Fig. 2), we next analyzed eQTLs unique to each tissue by examining the association of GWAS SNPs with expression of probes detected in either blood or brain but not in both (Supplementary Table 2).
