We identified 35 genes with a with a high posterior probability (PP) (PP > 0.8) of shared signal between eQTLs in the aorta and CAD-GWAS (CDH13, PHACTR1, TCF21, N4BP2L2, SYPL2, TWIST1, PDGFD, IPO9, FHL3, UTP11, GGCX, SEMA5A, DMPK, MIA3, TMEM133, CAMK1D, ARHGAP42, DAGLB, DMWD, CETP, MORF4L1, JCAD, MFGE8, HAPLN3, HHIPL1, DHX36, B3GNT8, BMP1, LMOD1, FAM117B, MAT2A, ATP2B1, EXOSC5, EIF2B2, ZEB2) (Additional file 7: Table S7). This evidence concerns the gene SYPL2 and coronary artery disorder.
