Similarly, QTLs for genes linked to coronary artery disease risk (e.g. LPL [58], SREBF1 [59], GIT1 [60, 61], SKIV2L [61], MAP3K11/MLK3 [62]) were associated with colocalization sites linking coronary artery disease with mean platelet volume, lymphocyte, and/or reticulocyte counts (Additional file 1: Tables S15-S17). The gene discussed is MAP3K11; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
