a Allele ratio ≥1.5 in at least one sample, allele ratio ≥1.3 in all heterozygous samples.

b Exonic SNPs for which the same allele is expressed higher in each of the heterozygous samples, excluding the three genes we consider likely to be regulated by imprinting.

c The 31 genes containing these 31 exonic SNPs are listed in Supplemental Table 4.
