... eQTLs were mainly smaller-effect QTLs. A possible explanation for the difference in effect size between cis and trans eQTLs could be that cis sequence polymorphisms (e.g. in a promoter) have a direct influence on expression of the gene giving rise to cis eQTLs. By contrast, trans eQTLs are caused by ...
