Candidate modules from all whole brain and each brain regional network are shown. The first column depicts the network from which the candidate module was derived and the second column is the module name. The direction of the correlation is not reported as these are unsigned networks. N/A indicates there were no common eQTLs among the probesets. The mQTL location reports the chromosome and Mb location for the highest peak.
