mV2G: a multiomic atlas for tissue-specific variant-to-gene prioritization

<jats:p>The multiomic Variant-to-Gene (mV2G, https://mv2g.hbliulab.org) is a comprehensive atlas that integrates diverse functional genomic evidence to prioritize tissue-specific variant-to-gene (V2G) associations. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified millions of associations between genetic variants and diseases, translating these findings into biological mechanisms remains challenging because &gt;90% of variants reside in noncoding regions. Existing V2G resources provide complementary regulatory evidence but are fragmented and often lack tissue-specific interpretation. To address this challenge, we constructed the mV2G atlas by integrating 24 types of functional genomic evidence across 50 human tissues, including molecular quantitative trait loci, enhancer-gene predictions, three-dimensional chromatin interactions, and experimental validation. The atlas contains 188,634,118 evidence-supported V2G pairs involving 13,618,039 variants and 69,521 genes. We further developed a unified tissue-specific V2G prioritization framework and prioritized 1,530,420 high-confidence functional V2G pairs involving 1,131,316 unique variants, with 87% exhibiting tissue-specificity. The mV2G atlas provides searchable variant- and gene-centered interfaces, an interactive browser for visualizing variants, target genes, cis-regulatory elements, and chromatin states, as well as downloadable datasets. By integrating complementary regulatory evidence into a unified framework, mV2G provides an accessible resource for interpreting the functional and phenotypic impact of genomic variation in relevant tissues for human diseases.</jats:p>
