Fig. 2. Number of shared TWAS significant genes between migraine and BP traits across 48 GTEx tissues (version 7).

Fig. 2

The X axis shows the count of genes from tissues in the GTEx database meeting significance thresholds for multiple testing for migraine and for each of the BP measures as indicated. The Y axis lists GTEx tissues. Colors represent different tissue categories. The null hypothesis of TWAS is no expression-trait association (or genetic correlation between expression and a trait) conditional on the observed GWAS statistics at the corresponding locus. The total number of TWAS gene-tissue pairs being tested is 206,397 across 48 GTEx tissues. TWAS transcriptome-wide association studies, BP blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, SBP systolic blood pressure, PP pulse pressure, No. number.
