  1. FDR, false discovery rate; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; PD, programmed cell death; TCR, T cell antigen receptor; NK, natural killer.
  2. Gene sets with FDR <0.05 are listed. Results are shown with or without inclusion in the analysis of SNPs within the HLA region. The top 10 hits from our drug-positioning analysis using a combined pathway from the HLA excluded set are indicated by symbols for the associated pathways that they affect.
