Abstract

Complex diseases are heterogenous due to variation in their genetic and environmental underpinnings, leading to varied treatment responses. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) integrated with single-cell expression quantitative trait loci analyses (eQTL) can pinpoint cell-type specific candidate disease-relevant genes and pathways. This knowledge can be applied to patient stratification and novel therapeutic target identification. Here, we describe the translational potential of cell-type specific genetic regulation, using Crohn's disease as an example.
