Workflow of the current study. The figure briefly describes the workflow of the current study. From 174 Japanese WGS samples, an accurate list of intermediate-sized deletions was identified after application of filtering and joint-call recovery methods. An imputation panel was generated and these deletions imputed into a separate set of Japanese genomic data. Deletions that were estimated to cause gene expression level changes were then identified after an eQTL association analysis
