  • *P value for the eQTL between the SNP and whole blood mRNA expression of RTP4, respectively, MASP1, according to Westra et al.18

  • eQTL, expression quantitative trait locus; MASP1, mannan binding lectin serine peptidase 1; PSS, primary Sjögren’s syndrome; RTP4, receptor transporter protein 4.
