Proteins in the body are encoded by our genes and any malfunction in the approximately 20,000 proteins in the human body can cause disease.

Key Points: 
  • Proteins in the body are encoded by our genes and any malfunction in the approximately 20,000 proteins in the human body can cause disease.
  • In fact, its estimated that most disease is caused by protein malfunction and because of this, proteins are the most common target of drug therapies to treat disease.
  • Until recently, the connection between genetic encoding of proteins and the impact of these proteins on diseases has been poorly understood because scientists were uncertain which genes are truly involved in these processes.
  • Among the key findings of the study was the identification of 10,674 genetic variant-protein associations, or pQTLs, for 3,892 distinct proteins.
