Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) refers to a specific type of quantitative trait locus that is associated with the variation in gene expression levels. An eQTL is a region of the genome that explains a significant portion of the variation in the expression of one or multiple genes. This relationship is typically revealed through genetic mapping studies where researchers correlate specific genetic variants, often single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), with the expression levels of genes.
