Figure 3.
Venn diagram showing the overlap of genes differentially expressed (from the 3,987 investigated) associated with the different eQTL types (cis, trans and modified). The numbers represent the number of genes differentially expressed associated with the different types of eQTLs: cis-eQTLs, SNPs in promoter regions, transcriptional start sites (TSS), upstream (up to −200 bp) or within the gene; tr-eQTLs, potentially impairing non-synonymous SNPs located in transcriptional regulators; and mod-eQTLs, methylated bases located either within the gene or upstream including promoter regions and TSS.
