Declarations
:
: The data analyzed in this work originates from the GTEx project []. The GTEx consortium recognizes that the project involves potentially sensitive recruitment, institutional review board (IRB) and consent issues, particularly for deceased donors and their families. Therefore, written or recorded verbal authorization from next of kin was required for the participation of deceased donors in GTEx, typically through an addendum or modification to an existing authorization form for donation of tissues and organs for research. This authorization is stated to have included statements common in consent forms, such as the intention to perform genetic analyses, establish cell lines and share data with the scientific community. Our access and use of the GTEx data followed the guidelines in the Data Use Certification Agreement.
