Genes and transcribed Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) used in ASE assay.

a<p>Different transcribed SNPs were used to obtain ASE data for the CEU/CHB and YRI datasets due to MAF differences in the populations used.</p>b<p>Only the CEU population was analysed due to the low MAF observed for transcribed SNPs in the YRI and CHB populations.</p

Multi-population <i>cis</i>-mapping (CEU, CHB, YRI).

<p>For the CHI3L2 gene, only CEU and CHB populations were pooled. Horizontal lines reflect a multiple testing adjusted gene-wide statistical significance threshold of 5%.</p

<i>Cis</i>-association of SNPs with ASE data.

<p>Hapmap populations used: CEU (blue), CHB (green) and YRI population (yellow) unrelated individuals. Dots represent the results using a LM and crosses represent SNPs associated with ASE data which are in complete LD with the transcribed SNP (T-test results). Coordinates are in NCBI Build 35. Horizontal lines reflect a multiple testing adjusted gene-wide statistical significance threshold of 5%. Vertical lines represent the 5′ prime (grey) and 3′ prime(black) of the gene.</p
