GTEx findings reveal genetic regulatory variation across tissues and cell types – Medical Xpress

The multi-institutional Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Consortium, in a final-phase initiative co-led by Tuuli Lappalainen, Ph.D., Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center, has published its final set of studies. The new research presents a comprehensive atlas that maps how genetic variants affect gene regulation and how these cellular changes contribute to genetic risk for both common and rare diseases and traits. The set of 15 papers, the culmination of a 10-year effort funded by t…
