Manhattan plot of sex-specific eQTLs. The figure summarizes the results of our sex-specific eQTL discovery scan. SNP-gene pairs are plotted on the x-axis according to the SNP position on each autosomal chromosome in alternating light and dark blue against the P-values obtained upon testing for sex difference between effects in men and women (shown as –log10(Pdiff)). The red dotted line marks the 5% FDR threshold significance level (Pdiff=2.6×10−6), and SNPs in loci exceeding this threshold are highlighted in green
