Heritability and correlation analysis reveal evidence for shared genetic architecture for expression in LCLs

(A) The scatter plot for the SNP heritability (cis-$h_g^2$) of lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) gene expression for African American (AA) and European American (EA) ancestry in the GENOA study.

(B and C) The scatterplots where the y axis is a squared correlation ($r^2$) between measured LCL gene expression in GEUVADIS and predicted by eQTL panels from GENOA, and the x axis is cis-$h_g^2$. Each point represents a gene. The blue line is estimated using ordinary linear regression.
