Characterization of eQTL associations. (A) Expression variance explained by all SNPs for each gene. (B) Number of associated genes per SNP in significant eQTL associations. (C) The distribution of genes regulated by local and/or distant SNPs. (D) Broad sense heritability for genes with and without significant eQTL associations. (E) Genomic location of SNPs with significant eQTL associations. Promoters are defined as 500 bp upstream of the gene. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. Significance is indicated by asterisks: (****) P-value < 0.0001.
