at the gene level (Supplementary Information 8 and Supplementary Table 12) identified 46 genes at 10% FDR, with estimated q values of less than 0.4 for all 94 gene associations identified using the genome-wide FDR16. By investigating long-range intra-chromosomal eQTLs (≥5 Mb from the TSS), we discovered an additional 33 eGenes (10% FDR; Extended Data Table 2 and Supplementary Information 9). We found decaying support for cis-regulation (or interaction between cis- and trans-effects) over increased genomic distances based on evidence of allelic effects (Extended Data Fig. 4). Evidence of cis-regulation fell below background levels between 0.85 and 1.3 Mb from the TSS, empirically supporting the conventional distance threshold of 1 Mb for cis-eQTL detection.
