In addition, the two eQTLs of MEIS1 that was identified from the blood sample: rs11681729 (OR = 0.596,p-value = 3.299×10−5, Figure 6C) and rs11678354 (OR = 0.595, p-value = 2.980×10−5, Figure 6D) on chromosome 2 were strongly associated with phecode 292.1 (Aphasia/speech disturbance), which was in the mental disorders category. Here, MEIS1 is linked to Aphasia.
