The MR-eQTLs used in this table are all the eQTLs found at the exon-level (i.e. includes exon-only and subset of “both”). The entries below the diagonal are the number of MR-eQTLs in common between those two regions. ‘Total’ is the total number of eQTLs detected in that brain region while ‘MR’ is the number of MR-eQTLs in that region that are also detected in other brain regions. For example, in the cerebellum (CRBL), 2284 eQTLs were found at the exon-level, of these, 473 were also detected in another region (i.e. 21%). Note that the number of MR-eQTLs shared between a region and another do not add up to the total number of MR-eQTLs for that particular region as there are MR-eQTLs that were detected in more than two regions. For example, there are 201 MR-eQTLs shared between the frontal (FCTX) and occipital (OCTX) cortices and some of these are also shared with the temporal cortex (TCTX) as well (i.e. entries can overlap).
