The SLC6A14 rs3788766 was the most significant SNP in this (Table 2, panel (a) in Fig 2) and our previous meconium ileus GWAS [12] (S3 Table), and its risk allele T corresponds to increased transcript level based on the GTEx eQTL data of adult pancreas tissue (panel (a) in Fig 2). This evidence concerns the gene SLC6A14 and Meconium ileus.
