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). The gene discussed is EXOSC5; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
