Multi‐tissue transcriptome‐wide association study reveals susceptibility genes and drug targets for insulin resistance‐relevant phenotypes

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple susceptibility loci associated with insulin resistance (IR)‐relevant phenotypes. However, the genes responsible for these associations remain largely unknown. We aim to identify susceptibility genes for IR‐relevant phenotypes via a transcriptome‐wide association study.
