Figure 1 Manhattan plot of the results of genome-wide meta-analysis of gallstone disease in 10 studies. The plot shows –log10-transformed P values for all SNPs. The red horizontal line represents a P value of 5 × 10-8. The blue horizontal line represents a P value of 1 × 10-5.

Supplementary Figure 5 RNA sequencing results from gallbladder and liver from chronic gallstones case and normal gallbladders. Comparison of reads per kilobase of transcript per million (RPKM) values for expressed genes in chronic gallstone gallbladder vs chronic gallstone liver (left panel) and chronic gallstone gallbladder vs normal (nongallstones) gallbladder. The point corresponding to TM4SF4 expression is indicated. The following genes were excluded from the plots because of their high RPKM values: MTRNR2L8, ALB, and APOA2.
