The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans

Kristin G. Ardlie, +132 more
- 08 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The landscape of gene expression across tissues is described, thousands of tissue-specific and shared regulatory expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) variants are cataloged, complex network relationships are described, and signals from genome-wide association studies explained by eQTLs are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics.

Alvaro N. Barbeira, +263 more
TL;DR: A mathematical expression is derived to compute PrediXcan results using summary data, and the effects of gene expression variation on human phenotypes in 44 GTEx tissues and >100 phenotypes are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronized age-related gene expression changes across multiple tissues in human and the link to complex diseases

Jialiang Yang, +146 more
- 19 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the aging gene expression signatures are very tissue specific and enrichment for some well-known aging components such as mitochondria biology is observed in many tissues, and different levels of cross-tissue synchronization of age-related gene expression changes are observed, and some essential tissues (e.g., heart and lung) show much stronger "co-aging" than other tissues based on principal component analysis.
