Pleiotropy within gene variants associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and traits of the hematopoietic system

Figure 7 Functional assessment of variants associated with laboratory hematological-related traits. A-C: Functional analysis of genes significantly associated with platelet, leukocyte, and neutrophil count in the whole genome-wide association studies dataset (452264 individuals whose data are included in the United Kingdom Biobank). Functional enrichment analysis was performed using the FunRich tool, while Bonferroni and Benjamini-Hochberg methods were used to correct for multiple testing. D-E: Charts show fold changes in biological processes of genes associated with leukocyte or neutrophil counts vs biological processes of genes associated with platelet count. The input list of genes associated with platelet count, leukocyte count, and neutrophil count (P < 1 × 10^-8) was generated by searching the United Kingdom Biobank genome-wide association studies database.
