Number of Disease Risk Loci with Possible Underlying Expression Mechanisms in Seven Common Diseases

Disease set	BD	CAD	CD	HT	RA	T1D	T2D
All loci included	65	45	84	17	34	50	42
0 cM	13	8	24	3	12	12	7
0.005 cM	20	15	37	6	18	19	10
0.05 cM	26	23	48	8	21	24	13

Data at three thresholds of agreement between disease and expression markers are included where at least one disease and expression SNP are identical (0 cM), where a disease and expression marker are <0.005 cM apart, and where the markers are <0.05 cM apart.

BD, bipolar disorder; CAD, coronary artery disease; CD, Crohn's disease; HT, hypertension; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; T1D, type 1 diabetes; T2D, type 2 diabetes.
