We queried eQTL evidence for our top (P < 10−7) GWAS SNPs using public online resources. We used the Genotype-Tissue Expression Portal (GTEx) to identify eQTLs associated with the SNPs; and the RegulomeDB (Boyle et al. 2012) to identify regulatory DNA elements in non-coding and intergenic regions of the genome in normal cell lines and tissues.
