Powerful identification of cis-regulatory SNPs in human primary monocytes using allele-specific gene expression.

A large number of genome-wide association studies have been performed during the past five years to identify associations between SNPs and human complex diseases and traits. The assignment of a functional role for the identified disease-associated SNP is not straight-forward. Genome-wide expression...
