MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory noncoding RNAs that affect the production of a significant fraction of human mRNAs via post-transcriptional regulation. Interindividual variation of the miRNA expression levels is likely to influence the expression of miRNA target genes and may therefore contribute ...
Gene expression was quantified in LCL, skin and fat derived from a subset of Twins UK (N=156 LCL, N=160 skin, N=166 fat) using Illuminas whole genome expression array (HumanHT-12 version 3). Cis eQTL analysis was performed in each tissue, following by multiple analyses assessing the tissue-specifici...
