Allele-specific expression of LMTK2 transcripts. This histogram demonstrates allele-specific differences in the expression of LMTK2 transcripts bearing either the G or A allele at rs3801294, which is in perfect linkage disequilibrium (r² = 1; D' = 1) with the index SNP rs6465657. The sample identity is given on the X-axis and the ratio of transcripts carrying G alleles (marking the C allele of rs6465657) relative to those carrying the A allele (marking the T allele at rs6465657) is given on the Y-axis. Error bars represent the interquartile range (IQR) of the measurements. The level of significance as determined by pairwise Mann Whitney-U analyses is indicated by asterisks.
