Trait-associated SNPs are more likely to be eQTLs: annotation to enhance discovery from GWAS.

Text

To insure that results of enrichment studies were not unduly influenced by large numbers of correlated SNPs in the MHC region with high eQTL scores, we repeated the analyses summarized in Figure 2 and Figure 4 after removing all SNPs on chromosome 6 (see Figure S5). Results were relatively unchanged.
