研究基于Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine项目的14,324份RNA测序样本，在包括全血（n=6,454）和肺（n=1,291）在内的六种组织和细胞类型中开展表达与剪接数量性状位点（e/sQTL）分析。研究检测到数万个次级顺式e/sQTL，表明次级顺式e/sQTL的发现仍未饱和。对UK Biobank中164种性状的全基因组关联研究信号进行精细定位，共识别出10,611个e/sQTL共定位信号，其中7,096个与次级e/sQTL共定位。结果提示，更大规模的e/sQTL分析将发现更多次级e/sQTL，从而进一步有助于GWAS解读。
为什么值得关注
编辑短评
基因表达遗传调控不是一个基因一个主信号；次级 cis-QTL 还有大量待发现，并且是解读 GWAS 风险位点的关键，很多 trans 效应本质上由 cis 中介传递。
