11.6 eQTLs in the GTEx Portal
The GTEx Portal includes an option to view all significant eQTLs for a gene, below the plots of tissue expression. Note that these eQTLs are labeled by tissue – they may not impact transcription outside of that tissue.

eQTL violin plots
The Actions column provides quick access to several visualizations of each eQTL, including a violin plot that shows how it impacts expression:
