Cell-level gene expression links extend GWAS interpretation to the brain, new paper shows

The shared post notes growing evidence that linking genetic variation to cell-level rather than tissue-level gene expression better helps interpret GWAS signals for human disease.
The pattern is now replicated across tissues—first in peripheral blood, later in intestinal and lung tissue—and a new paper extends the concept to the brain.
