Abstract
Most SNPs are located in non-coding genomic regions and their function remains elusive. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide scan of expression and DNA methylation quantitative trait loci in human hippocampal tissue to provide a resource for the functional interpretation of SNPs in brain disorders.
