Allelic expression and total gene expression contradict?

23 November 2020 0 10K Report

Hi,

I am looking at a SNP located within the 3'UTR of a gene of interest. I discovered that in a tissue type of interet one of the alleles of the SNP is preferentially expressed over the other in patient samples heterozygous for the SNP. However, when I stratify total gene expression measured by qPCR by genotype in patients, I find that the preferentially expressed allele actually correlates with lower expression.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Best wishes,

Tanya

What is the difference between genotype and haplotype data in the ped format?

Hi everybody In the ped format for genotype, alleles of any SNP are represented by two columns (one for each allele, separated by a space). Is a column sufficient for the haplotype to...
