A total of 745 candidate T1D SNPs have significant eQTL associations with 159 genes (p < 5E-8), among which 94 genes are associated with 74 SNPs residing in enhancers with effective TF binding, indicating that over half of the genes (94/159 genes, 59%) are associated with eQTLs residing in enhancers (Fig 1A and 1B, and S3 Table). Here, TF is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
