Synthesis of 53 tissue and cell line expression QTL datasets reveals master eQTLs

TL;DR: Analysis of 45 full human GWAS scans indicates eQTLs are enriched overall, and above nSNPs, among positive statistical signals in genetic mapping studies, and account for a significant fraction of the strongest human trait effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix Gla protein polymorphisms are associated with coronary artery calcification in men.

TL;DR: A role for MGP genetic variants in coronary atherosclerosis among men that is not reflected in serum MGP concentrations is suggested, despite the fact that genetic variation in MGP was associated with serum M GP concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Trans-ethnic Meta-analysis Identifies Seven Genetic Loci Influencing Erythrocyte Traits and a Role for RBPMS in Erythropoiesis.

Frank J. A. van Rooij, +113 more
TL;DR: The utility of trans-ethnic GWASs for discovery and characterization of genetic loci influencing hematologic traits are shown, demonstrating that RBPMS is a regulator of erythropoiesis and supporting the statistical fine-mapping at this locus.
