= 0.54)20. We also derived eQTL for 279 DLPFC samples as part of the NIMH Human Brain Collection Core (HBCC) microarray data and found replication π1 = 0.77. Moreover, concordance of the direction of allelic effect was high, with 93% of eQTL showing the same direction of effect when intersecting CMC eQTL (FDR ≤ 5%) with even a liberally defined set of HBCC eQTL (FDR ≤ 20%). In addition to containing the vast majority of eQTL found in the literature, the CMC sample finds a substantial number of genes with previously undetected eQTL (Table 1).
