* Results shown are for the 289 genes with significant gene expression models.

Total Variance Explained: For each gene with a significant model (model p-value≤0.006), fraction of total variance explained by all significant effects of the allele in the ANOVA table (F-test p-value of effect <0.1).

Main (Additive) Effect: For each gene with a significant model (model p-value≤0.006), fraction of total variance explained by significant main effect of the allele in the ANOVA table (F-test p-value of effect <0.1).

Interaction Effect: For each gene with a significant model (model p-value≤0.006), fraction of total variance explained by all significant interaction effects of the allele in the ANOVA table (F-test p-value of effect <0.1).
