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). Here, PHACTR1 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
