Fig. 2From: Evidence from genome wide association studies implicates reduced control of Epstein-Barr virus infection in multiple sclerosis susceptibilityThe effect of MS risk SNP genotype on expression of proximal genes in whole blood and LCLs. The GTEx eQTL dataset was first filtered for MS risk SNPs, and SNP:gene pairs were then plotted for effect of genotype (restricted to the genes closest to the MS risk SNPs—the proximal genes). SNP:gene pairs that were more strongly associated with expression in LCLs (coloured blue) and those with a different risk allele effect in LCLs compared to whole blood, more significant in LCLs (red) or opposite slope in LCLs(green) were identified as LCLeQTL*Back to article page
