Supplementary data 3. The gene regulatory interactions involving NAFLD-candidate genes within the LGRN, and the trait enrichment results of the regulatory eQTLs targeting those genes.

The spatially constrained eQTLs associated with the differential regulation of the NAFLD-candidate genes were identified from the LGRN. There were 122 spatially constrained eQTLs regulating 13 NAFLD-candidate genes. And the eQTLs were significantly enriched for the GWAS traits linked with NAFLD such as liver enzyme levels.
