Nominal QTL results include all SNP-gene pairs tested (using a 1Mb window from each side of the transcription start site (TSS) of a gene). Table columns are formatted as follows:

  • phenotype_id - ensembl ID of the gene tested (GENCODE v30)
  • variant_id - SNP tested for association (rsid or chr:position:ref:alt)
  • tss_distance - distance of the SNP to the gene transcription start site (TSS)
  • maf - minor allele frequency in MiGA cohort
  • ma_samples - number of samples carrying the minor allele
  • ma_count - total number of minor alleles across individuals
  • pval_nominal - nominal P-value from linear regression
  • slope - slope of the linear regression
  • slope_se - standard error of the slope

Permuted QTL results include only the top SNP-gene association for each gene. Table columns are formatted as follows:

  • phenotype_id - ensembl ID of the gene tested (GENCODE v30)
  • num_var - total number of variants tested in cis
  • beta_shape1 - first parameter value of the fitted beta distribution
  • beta_shape2 - second parameter value of the fitted beta distribution
  • true_df - effective degrees of freedom the beta distribution approximation
  • pval_true_df - empirical P-value for the beta distribution approximation
  • variant_id - ID of the top variant (rsid or chr:position:ref:alt)
  • tss_distance - distance of the SNP to the gene transcription start site (TSS)
  • ma_samples - number of samples carrying the minor allele
  • ma_count - total number of minor alleles across individuals
  • maf -minor allele frequency in MiGA cohort
  • ref_factor - flag indicating if the alternative allele is the minor allele in the cohort (1 if AF <= 0.5, -1 if not)
  • pval_nominal - nominal P-value from linear regression
  • slope - slope of the linear regression
  • slope_se - standard error of the slope
  • pval_perm - first permutation P-value directly obtained from the permutations with the direct method
  • pval_beta - second permutation P-value obtained via beta approximation. This is the one to use for downstream analysis
  • qval - Storey q-value derived from pval_beta (FDR adjusted)
  • pval_nominal_threshold - nominal P-value threshold for calling a variant-gene pair significant for the gene

NOTE: The effect sizes of eQTLs and sQTL are defined as the effect of the alternative allele (ALT) relative to the reference (REF) allele in the human genome reference (GRCh38). A file containing that information for all alleles tested is available at 10.5281/zenodo.4301005
