(GI_22749210-S), SLC6A15 (GI_33354280-A, GI_21361692-I, GI_33354280-I), TSPAN19 (GI_37541880-S), LRRIQ1 (hmm2373-S) and ALX1 (GI_5901917-S). For the GENEVAR data set a residual expression variable for each probe was built by regression analysis to correct for ethnicity. We tested an allelic and both alternative recessive-dominant genetic models for rs1545843 and rs1031681 for each of the probes (N=7) by performing ANOVA under 106 permutations using the WG-Permer software (http://www.mpipsykl.mpg.de/wg-permer). P-values were corrected for multiple comparisons by the Bonferroni procedure. Subsequently, we repeated this analysis by including data of all available non-RefSeq (EST) gene probes (N=+6: Hs.365699-S, Hs.506230-S, GI_41149683-S, Hs.208111-S, GI_41149726-S, hmm21473-S, tab. S1) for ESTs from GenBank in the same genomic window. Data of four ESTs were excluded from the analysis, because their probes did not map completely or uniquely to any target EST sequence of the current GenBank database (GI_37541937-S, hmm21470-S, GI_37541941-S, hmm21472-S). Target sequences of all probes included in expression analyses mapped uniquely and completely to the human genome and are all devoid of known common variations denominated by dbSNP build 129.
