Fig 4. Number of causal cis-eQTLs with systematic or heterogeneous effects.

Fig 4

(A) Using a modified test of heterogeneity that accounts for the dependency structure arising from within-individual and within-gene expression correlations, we distinguished causal cis-eQTLs that fitted either a systematic gene-model (orange) or a heterogeneous gene-model (blue) per quantification type. The full results of this analysis are found in S7 Table. Numbers represent the total number of SNP-gene associations per quantification type. (B) Causal cis-eQTLs that are also causal cis-eQTLs at gene-level. (C) Causal cis-eQTLs that are not causal cis-eQTLs at gene-level.
