Properties of structural variants and short tandem repeats associated with gene expression and complex traits

Genetic variation associated with gene expression changes has mostly been studied in the context of single nucleotide variants. Here, Jakubosky et al. report eQTL analysis of structural variants and short tandem repeats and find properties, such as length of variation, that affect the association.
