Table 4.

Number of Genes in Each Category for Each Disease

Category	BD	CAD	CD	HT	RA	T1D	T2D
A	1	4	4	0	1	2	3
B	21	12	38	3	12	9	4
C	25	23	67	8	26	35	14

Category A genes are those where an expression mechanism has previously been suggested and the new analysis supports that finding. Category B genes are those where the disease candidate gene has previously been suggested and we have now identified a putative expression mechanism. Category C genes are those where the expression-related candidate genes have not previously been suggested as disease relevant.
