High-throughput allele-specific expression analysis can detect allelic imbalance in clinical patient samples as a proxy for quantitative measures of gene expression

Presenting Author: Hoda Mirsafian

Take home points: 

1. High-throughput allele specific expression analysis could be used to identify patients with allele-specific expression of unknown origin.   

2. Using high-throughput clinical paired DNAseq and RNAseq samples to detect allelic differences in gene expression caused by cis-acting variants.
