Összefoglaló	Machine learning-assisted eQTL analysis integrates supervised learning models — ranging from elastic-net regression to deep neural networks — into the classical eQTL framework to predict and map genetic variants that regulate gene expression. By training predictive models on reference panels (e.g., GTEx), the approach enables imputation of gene expression in cohorts lacking RNA data, substantially increasing statistical power and enabling trans-tissue generalisation.	eQTL analysis identifies genomic loci (variants, typically SNPs) whose genotype statistically associates with variation in the expression level of one or more genes. By jointly profiling DNA-level variation and RNA-level expression in the same individuals, eQTL studies decode the regulatory grammar of the genome — revealing which variants control how much a gene is transcribed, in which tissues, and under what conditions.
