such as mRNA levels. Although named "expression QTLs", not all measures of gene expression can be used for eQTLs. For example, traits quantified by protein levels are instead referred to as protein QTLs (pQTLs).

Distant and local, trans- and cis-eQTLs, respectively

An expression quantitative trait is an amount of an mRNA transcript or a protein. These are usually the product of a single gene with
