nominally significantp ‐value < 0.05
This work first estimated the effect size (i.e., allelic fold change, aFC) of the top ieQTL for each ieGene from ASE data using the script phaser_cis_var.py in phASER (v1.1.1) [ 102 ] and considered only ieQTL with nominally significant ASE ( p ‐value < 0.05) data in more than 10 heterozygous individuals with more than eight reads for a gene.
