Fig. 2. eQTL violin plots from the GTEx portal database.
The figures show eQTL violin plots for two SNPs that regulate expression of the APOE gene in subcutaneous adipose tissue. (A) The plot for rs769449 demonstrates that the presence of the A allele, compared to the G allele, leads to higher gene expression. (B) For rs349401, higher gene expression is observed with the T allele compared to the C allele. These plots indicate that higher expression of the APOE gene is associated with increased serum cholesterol levels.
