  1. Tissues in TWAS: 1 = Adipose Subcutaneous; 2 = Adipose Visceral Omentum; 3 = Adrenal Gland; 4 = Brain Cortex; 5 = Brain Hippocampus; 6 = Brain Hypothalamus; 7 = Liver; 8 = Muscle Skeletal; 9 = Pancreas; 10 = Pituitary; 11 = Thyroid. Previous GWASs reported in the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog have identified various phenotypes that reach genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8). Coordinates for TADs were retrieved from the following source (http://3dgenome.fsm.northwestern.edu/publications.html).
