a

R2: prediction performance (R2) derived using GTEx data. P value: derived from association analyses of 79,194 cases and 61,112 controls; associations with FDR-corrected P value < 0.05 considered significant.

b

P value: derived from 34 prostatic tumor tissue samples and paired normal prostatic tissue samples.
