TY - T1 - Identifying gene targets for brain-related traits using transcriptomic and methylomic data from blood SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/299797 T3 - A1 - eQTLGen Consortium A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Understanding the difference in genetic regulation of gene expression between brain and blood is important for discovering genes for brain-related traits and disorders. Here, we estimate the correlation of genetic effects at the top-associated cis-expression or -DNA methylation (DNAm) quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTLs or cis-mQTLs) between brain and blood (r b ). Using publicly available data, we find that genetic effects at the top cis-eQTLs or mQTLs are highly correlated between independent b...
