PHACTR1 splicing isoforms and eQTLs in atherosclerosis-relevant human cells

Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a variant (rs9349379) at the phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) locus that is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). The same variant is also an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) for PHACTR1 in human...
