(r2<0.1), were selected. For other genes, the eQTL SNPs in the same eQTL region were in LD with each other (r2>0.1); therefore, 1 representative SNP was selected for each region. If the genotype data of the selected SNP were not available in the HapMap data, the SNP within the same eQTL region having the next strongest correlation with the expression levels in whole blood was selected.
