Figure 4. For 21 complex traits, pairs of unlinked trait-associated SNPs affect the same downstream genes.

Figure 4

We observed that for 21 different traits, there were pairs of unlinked SNPs that have previously been reported to be associated with these traits and which also affect exactly the same downstream genes in trans, whereas this is rarely observed when using an equally sized, but permuted list of trans-eQTLs.
