Proteome

Definition
AI-generated

The proteome is the complete set of proteins—and their isoforms and modifications—present in a cell, biofluid, or tissue, often measured by mass spectrometry or affinity-based assays.

Why it matters in GWAS

Protein levels sit downstream of transcription and translation; pQTL mapping and proteomic GWAS help test whether expression-associated variants propagate to the proteome and can clarify druggable targets.

Example usage

"The methods explicitly include Proteome to support interpretation of the main findings."
