72	% of the eQTL are co-localized.
46	% of the eQTL are co-localized and this enrichment is significant at the chromosome level.

The number of eQTLs is given for each chromosome. This number is in bold when the chromosome level is significantly high (Bonferroni-corrected p-value). The position of the clusters is given in cM (details are given in Additional files 1, 3 and 4).
