Gene expression profiles were obtained using a custom Affymetrix array (see GEO platform GPL10379) testing 51,627 non-control probesets. DNA samples were genotyped on the Illumina Human1M-Duo BeadChip array. 409, 363, and 339 patients had both genotyping and gene expression data that passed standard quality controls (see Text S1) in Laval, Groningen, and UBC, respectively. These final datasets (total n = 1,111) were used to discover eQTLs and to identify eSNPs.
