A significant hurdle in our analytical pursuit lay in discerning whether the association with MG risk stemmed from PRSS36, PRSS8, or both entities, given the substantial correlation between the cis-eQTL instrument for PRSS36 (rs78924645) and cis-pQTL instrument (rs1060506) for PRSS8 (r2 = 0.93 in 1000 Genomes Project European ancestry participants). This evidence concerns the gene PRSS36 and myasthenia gravis.
