Brain expression genome-wide association study (eGWAS) identifies human disease-associated variants.

Brain expression genome-wide association study (eGWAS) identifies human disease-associated variants.

Genetic variants that modify brain gene expression may also influence risk for human diseases. We measured expression levels of 24,526 transcripts in brain samples from the cerebellum and temporal cortex of autopsied subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD, cerebellar n=197, temporal cortex n=202...
