After quality control, eQTL analyses were performed on 162 ALS cases and 207 controls in the eQTL discovery set with data on 261,682 autosomal SNPs and 37,118 expression probes. Patient characteristics are summarized in Table S1. At a Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) of 5%, we detected 16,901 significant SNP-transcript pairs in cis (Figure 1).
