ukb_ppp.assays

Olink proteomics assay metadata.

Six proteins were included in multiple panels.

The rest appeared in only one panel.

One row per (panel, assay) — the link table between gene symbols and protein IDs.

Use this table to map a gene name to its protein_id before querying pqtls.

Related tables: ukb_ppp.proteins (join on protein_id); ukb_ppp.pqtls (join on protein_id); ukb_ppp.genes (join on gene_symbol); eqtlgen.genes (join on gene_symbol).
