Single-cell eQTL mapping in 5.4 million PBMCs from 1,925 individuals with matched WGS finds common-variant eQTLs for 83% and rare-variant signals for 47% of 21,404 genes.

The paper identifies immune cell type-specific gene expression regulated by tandem repeats using multi-omics data from large cohorts.

The paper uses single-cell eQTL data to identify cell-type-specific effector genes associated with 69 diseases and 31 biomarker traits, revealing distinct immune cell contributions to disease.

The paper maps chromatin accessibility and genetic variation in immune cells, showing how integrating cell-type-specific data improves disease risk understanding.
