passed Bonferroni’s correction (P < 1.43 × 10−7), from which 186 also co-localized between the eQTL and GWAS traits when using coloc28 (posterior probability for co-localization of significant signals PP4 > 0.7; Fig. 5a and Supplementary Fig. 21), confirming that the two traits shared the same causal SNP. Of the prioritized findings, 282 (82 of which co-localized) were associated with the risk for 31 prioritized neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases (Table 1). We focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and highlight two examples where MR and co-localization point to probable causal GWAS genes.
