From: Autosomal genetic control of human gene expression does not differ across the sexes

Fig. 2

Distribution of 12,500 estimated genetic correlations of gene expression across males and females from a bivariate GREML analysis. Left: The distribution of the estimated r G is skewed towards r G=1.00, with a large peak at values close to r G=1.00. The median estimate across all tested probes is r G=1.00 indicating that, on average, males and females share the same common genetic control of gene expression. Right: The estimated r G compared to their corresponding P value. No probes satisfied the Bonferroni corrected significance threshold of P=3.99×10−6
