Multi-ancestry MHC-pQTL mapping reveals disease-linked HLA protein networks and shared genetic architecture

Research Square

Abstract

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the most polymorphic and disease-relevant regions of the human genome, yet the downstream effects of MHC variation on circulating protein networks across ancestries remain incompletely defined.
