Figure 1. Trait-associated SNPs are more likely to be eQTLs.

Figure 1

The distribution of the number of eQTLs (defined as p<10−4 left panel, p<10−6 middle panel, and p<10−8 right panel) observed for each of 1,000 draws of 1,598 SNPs from bins matched for minor allele frequency to the 1,598 SNPs downloaded from the NHGRI catalog (bins include all SNPs in the Illumina 1M and Affymetrix 6.0 products) is shown in the bar graphs, with the actual number of eQTLs observed in the 1,598 SNPs from the NHGRI catalog shown as a solid circle.
