Gene expression and splicing QTL analysis of blood cells in African American participants from the Jackson Heart Study.
Most gene expression and alternative splicing quantitative trait loci (eQTL/sQTL) studies have been biased toward European ancestry individuals. Here, we performed eQTL and sQTL analyses using TOPMed whole-genome sequencing-derived genotype data and RNA-sequencing data from stored peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 1,012 African American participants from the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). At a false discovery rate of 5%, we identified 17,630 unique eQTL credible sets covering 16,538 unique genes; and 24,525 unique sQTL credible sets covering 9,605 unique genes, with lead QTL at P < 5e-8. About 24% of independent eQTLs and independent sQTLs with a minor allele frequency > 1% in JHS were rare (minor allele frequency < 0.1%), and therefore unlikely to be detected, in European ancestry individuals. Finally, we created an open database, which is freely available online, allowing fast query and bulk download of our QTL results.
期刊介绍:
GENETICS is published by the Genetics Society of America, a scholarly society that seeks to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing our understanding of genetics. Since 1916, GENETICS has published high-quality, original research presenting novel findings bearing on genetics and genomics. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to humans, as well as theoretical work.
While it has an illustrious history, GENETICS has changed along with the communities it serves: it is not your mentor''s journal.
The editors make decisions quickly – in around 30 days – without sacrificing the excellence and scholarship for which the journal has long been known. GENETICS is a peer reviewed, peer-edited journal, with an international reach and increasing visibility and impact. All editorial decisions are made through collaboration of at least two editors who are practicing scientists.
GENETICS is constantly innovating: expanded types of content include Reviews, Commentary (current issues of interest to geneticists), Perspectives (historical), Primers (to introduce primary literature into the classroom), Toolbox Reviews, plus YeastBook, FlyBook, and WormBook (coming spring 2016). For particularly time-sensitive results, we publish Communications. As part of our mission to serve our communities, we''ve published thematic collections, including Genomic Selection, Multiparental Populations, Mouse Collaborative Cross, and the Genetics of Sex.
