Figure 4: Protein and mRNA expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) as a function of two ankylosing spondylitis (AS)-risk alleles.
From: Connecting genetic risk to disease end points through the human blood plasma proteome
Box-whisker plots of (a) ERAP1 blood circulating protein levels and (b) ERAP1 mRNA expression levels observed in lymphoblastoid cells as a function of the sum of AS-risk alleles (minor allele of rs26496, r2=0.46 with rs30187; major allele of rs17482078, r2=0.96 with rs10050860); the number of individuals per genotype combination is in parentheses; whiskers extend to the most extreme data point that still falls within the 1.5 inter-quartile range.
