Interactions between glucocorticoid treatment and cis-regulatory polymorphisms contribute to cellular response phenotypes.
Glucocorticoids (GCs) mediate physiological responses to environmental stress and are commonly used as pharmaceuticals. GCs act primarily through the GC receptor (GR, a transcription factor). Despite their clear biomedical importance, little is known about the genetic architecture of variation in GC...
