Moving beyond GWAS and eQTL Analysis to Validated Hits in Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mainly localized to non-coding genomic regions. To understand which genes and which cell types are affected by these genetic variants, compartment-specific transcriptome, genome, and epigenome data were analyzed in an integrative manner in a recent study by Qiu et al. (Qiu et al., 2018).
