Perform PrediXcan or S-PrediXcan using all tissues. Use Bonferroni correction for all gene-tissue pairs: keep p < 0.05/number of gene-tissue pairs tested.Keep associations with significant prediction performance adjusting for number of PrediXcan significant gene-tissue pairs: keep prediction performance p-values < 0.05/(number of significant associations from previous step).Filter out LD-contaminated associations, i.e., gene-tissue pairs in the “independent signal” (=”non-colocalized”) region of the ternary plot (See Fig. 3a): keep COLOC P3 < 0.5 (Blue and gray regions in Fig. 3a).If further reduction of number of genes to be taken to replication or validation is desired, keep only hits with explicit evidence of colocalization: P4 > 0.5 (Blue region in Fig. 3a).
