Figure 4. Distribution of cis- associations relative to the transcription start site (TSS) and in relation to population sharing.

−log₁₀ of the p-value is plotted against distance measured in base pairs from the associated SNP to the TSS. Each dot represents the most significant SNP for a significant gene (permutation threshold 0.01) in a population. Panels separate associations that were significant in one population, two populations, etc. All populations are lumped together.
