Genetic variant effects on gene expression in human pancreatic islets and their implications for T2D

Genetic variant effects on gene expression in human pancreatic islets and their implications for T2D

Mechanistic inference following GWAS is hampered by the lack of tissue-specific transcriptomic resources. Here the authors combine genetic variants predisposing to type 2 diabetes with human pancreatic islet RNA-seq data. They identify 7741 islet expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), providing...
