Comparison of eQTL effect sizes between MKs and platelets. (A) Effect sizes of detected eQTLs in MKs with corresponding matches in platelets. Scatterplot of effect sizes among detected eQTLs in MKs with q-values < 0.05 and their corresponding direct matches in platelets. Among the 948 eQTLs detected in MKs, there are 446 direct gene-SNP matches in platelets and among these 446 pairs, 380 (85.2%) have the same direction of the estimated effect sizes. (B) Effect sizes of detected eQTLs in platelets with corresponding matches in MKs. Scatterplot of effect sizes among detected eQTLs in platelets with q-values < 0.05 and their corresponding direct matches in MKs. Among the 1830 eQTLs detected in platelets, there are 1448 direct gene-SNP matches in MKs and among these 1448 pairs 1152 (79.6%) have the same direction of the estimated effect sizes.
