Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a wide range of human diseases, yet its causal role and the reasons for tissue-specific manifestations remain poorly understood. Here we show, using large-scale genetic and transcriptomic data, that nuclear regulation of mitochondrial gene expression contributes to complex trait biology. Our analyses reveal tissue-dependent mechanisms linking mitochondrial processes to disease risk and highlight opportunities for understanding and potentially targeting mitochondrial contributions to human health.
