For example, a polymorphism in the promoter that affects binding of a transcription factor. However, cis QTLs can be far upstream or downstream polymorphisms in enhancers or may be in 3� UTR binding sites that affect message stability.</font><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=1></td> <td align=left colspan=1><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=1></td> <td align=left colspan=1><font face=Helvetica size=3>2. trans QTLs map far enough away from the location of the gene that gives rise to the transcript that is being measured so that we can be fairly certain that the QTL is not in the gene itself. The most blatant type of trans QTL would be a polymorphism in a transcription factor. But in the majority of cases, the trans QTLs can be far removed in a mechanistic sense from the actual events modulating transcript abundance. That is why there are three overlapping arrows in the figure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The way in which an upstream polymorphism influences a downstream difference in mRNA abundance can be indirect.
