by RIKEN Enrichment of high PIP variants within open chromatin regions of 18 blood cell populations was analyzed by gchromVAR software. The horizontal dashed line indicates Bonferroni corrected P value threshold (0.05/18 = 0.0027). P values were estimated by the enrichment test implemented in gchromVAR.
