Cell-type-specific eQTLs underlie the genetic architecture of complex traits.

Genetic effects on complex traits primarily act by regulating gene expression; however, this process is not well understood 1 .

Genetic effects on complex traits primarily act by regulating gene expression; however, this process is not well understood 1 . Studies of genetic effects on gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs)) can inform as to the gene regulatory layer between genetic…
