Average effect of a cis-genetic variant on allelic imbalance. Estimates are based on linear regression of an individual’s number of cis-heterozygous sites within (A) 10 kb and (B) 50 kb of the TSS of a gene and measured ASE for each of the nine best sampled GTEx tissues. Vertical lines show 95% confidence intervals, estimated using a weighted jackknife as described in Busing et al. (1999). For reference, the dotted line marks zero estimated effect.
