Validation by quantitative (q) PCR analysis of differential expression of 53 prioritized cis-eQTL transcripts in the Brown Norway (BN) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) parental strains for which qPCR assays could be developed. A: cis-eQTLs identified in kidney and skeletal muscle. B: cis-eQTLs identified in adrenal gland and retroperitoneal fat pad. *Raw P value <0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. All transcript comparisons are shown with expression in the strain showing lower expression normalized to 1. Absolute expression data (microarray) is shown in Supplementary Table S4. Bonferroni corrected P values are shown in Table 2.
