{"doi":"10.1093/nar/gkad916","title":"PancanQTLv2.0: a comprehensive resource for expression quantitative trait loci across human cancers","abstract":"Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis is a powerful tool used to investigate genetic variations in complex diseases, including cancer. We previously developed a comprehensive database, PancanQTL, to characterize cancer eQTLs using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and linked eQTLs with patient survival and GWAS risk variants. Here, we present an updated version, PancanQTLv2.0 (https://hanlaboratory.com/PancanQTLv2/), with advancements in fine-mapping causal variants for eQTLs, updating eQTLs overlapping with GWAS linkage disequilibrium regions and identifying eQTLs associated with drug response and immune infiltration. Through fine-mapping analysis, we identified 58 747 fine-mapped eQTLs credible sets, providing mechanic insights of gene regulation in cancer. We further integrated the latest GWAS Catalog and identified a total of 84 592 135 linkage associations between eQTLs and the existing GWAS loci, which represents a remarkable ∼50-fold increase compared to the previous version. Additionally, PancanQTLv2.0 uncovered 659516 associations between eQTLs and drug response and identified 146948 associations between eQTLs and immune cell abundance, providing potentially clinical utility of eQTLs in cancer therapy. PancanQTLv2.0 expanded the resources available for investigating gene expression regulation in human cancers, leading to advancements in cancer research and precision oncology.","journal":"Nucleic Acids Research","year":2023,"id":351855,"datarank":0.4392120540615877,"base_score":2.302585092994046,"endowment":2.302585092994046,"self_citation_contribution":0.3453877639491069,"citation_network_contribution":0.0938242901124808,"self_endowment_contribution":0.3453877639491069,"citer_contribution":0.0938242901124808,"corpus_percentile":57.368298909259686,"corpus_rank":5512,"citation_count":9,"citer_count":7,"citers_with_citation_signal":5,"citers_with_endowment":5,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":true,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9438,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":25.0,"fair_percentile":40.966065423417916,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":288229,"name":"Yuan Liu","orcid":"0000-0003-2030-1153","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":884733,"name":"Mei Luo","orcid":"0000-0002-0183-2373","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":253953,"name":"Jingwen Yang","orcid":"0000-0001-8969-6486","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":588978,"name":"Yamei Chen","orcid":"0000-0002-9072-5157","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1097405,"name":"Runhao Wang","orcid":null,"position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":830183,"name":"Joseph Zhou","orcid":"0000-0003-3363-3720","position":6,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":454680,"name":"Yong Zang","orcid":"0000-0003-0572-4756","position":7,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":228163,"name":"Lixia Diao","orcid":"0000-0001-6995-4492","position":8,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":13527,"name":"Leng Han","orcid":"0000-0002-7380-2640","position":9,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1096888,"name":"Chengxuan Chen","orcid":"0000-0002-9650-1437","position":0,"is_corresponding":true}],"reference_count":45,"raw_metadata":null,"created_at":"2026-07-19T01:12:45.897709Z","pmid":"37870463","pmcid":"PMC10767806","fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":33.3333,"fair_a":50.0,"fair_i":0.0,"fair_r":25.0,"fair_zscore":-0.374,"fair_rationale":{"fair_score":25.0,"has_llm":true,"taxonomy_version":"fair_taxonomy_v5","dimensions":{"F":{"name":"Findable","score":33.33,"criteria":[{"key":"f_dataset_pid","label":"Persistent identifier for the data","kind":"llm","weight":2.0,"fraction":0.0,"verdict":"no","evidence":"All results generated in this study can be found in PancanQTLv2.0 database, ( https://hanlaboratory.com/PancanQTLv2 ).","grounded":false,"rationale":"The paper provides a URL to the database website, not a persistent identifier.
