Cross-Tissue and Tissue-Specific eQTLs: Partitioning the Heritability of a Complex Trait

Top signals from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) are enriched with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) identified in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. We therefore hypothesized that such eQTLs might account for a disproportionate share of the heritability es...
