Title:- "eQTL: intertwining disease decomposition and drug repositioning" Expression QTL (eQTL) further annotate disease-associated genetic loci with co-observed changes in the transcriptome. With drugs selected to compensate the disturbance caused for single loci, for a genotyped patient of a multifactorial disease one may derive a recipe for a drug cocktail. This presentation reviews resources available today and emergent algorithms, exemplified on murine data for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a mouse model for neuroinflammation.
