Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Pie chart presents the fraction of GWAS-colocalized eIsoforms with an eQTL-colocalizing isoQTL for a matched eGene in the same cell type. ( B ) Pie chart presents the fraction of TWAS significant isoforms overlapping TWAS genes from cell-barcode matched short-read eQTL data ( C ) isoQTL or eQTL colocalization with lung cancer GWAS at the PPIL6 locus in multiciliated cells. SNPs are color-coded based on the LD R 2 (1000 Genomes, EAS, phase 3) with isoQTL lead SNP, rs12528822 (purple diamond). ( D ) Association between the genotype of lead isoQTL rs12528822 and the normalized expression of PPIL6-207 (top panel) and TALONT003040002 (bottom panel). ( E ) Association between the genotype of lead isoQTL rs12528822 and the proportion of PPIL6-207 (top panel) and TALONT003040002 (bottom panel) over all PPIL6 isoforms. P -value is calculated by linear regression with the same covariates used in isoQTL mapping adjusted. Allele C of rs12528822 is the risk-associated allele for lung cancer. The violins and boxes are colored by genotype, and the grey line shows the trend of association. Center lines show the medians; the box indicates the middle of 50% of data; whiskers extend 1.5 times the interquartile range from the 25th and 75th percentiles; outliers are represented by dots; density of normalized expression is represented by the width of violin shape. ( F , H ) Representative histograms of DNA damage marker γH2AX ( F ) or p-p53 ( H ) for overproduced PPIL6 isoforms or HPS4 in GFP + transfected cells from the same experimental batch. ( G,I ) Bar plots showed the DNA damage level (i.e., γH2AX or p-p53) normalized to the median intensity of GFP + HPS4-overproducing MRC5-SV40 cells. Error bars show the mean±standard error. Black dots show the individual level of normalized value of two replicates from three experiments (n = 6). One-way ANOVA is used to test the differences across groups, * represents adjusted p- value < 0.05 by post hoc Tukey’s test. All summary statistics are in Table S11 .
