A study published in the journal PLoS One
(https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0217796 ) in 2019 presented results of
a GWAS searching for loci impacting the risk of prolonged QRS in
Hispanic/Latino people living in the U.S. QRS prolongation has been associated
heart failure and cardiovascular mortality. The Manhattan plot below
summarizes the results. The significance threshold for this study is shown as a
horizontal line at -log₁0(p-value) ~7.5. The names of candidate genes at each
associated locus are shown at the top of the corresponding SNP tower. How
many loci containing at least one gene affecting prolonged QRS risk were
identified?

As shown in the Manhattan plot in previous question, the authors have
identified a single best candidate gene for most loci identified in their study, but
identified two candidate genes for the locus on chromosome 3: SCN5A and
SCN10A. These are related genes that both encode cardiac sodium channels.
The regional association plot for this locus is shown above, with gene models in
this region shown below the plot. Based on the information shown here, why did
the authors nominate SCN5A and SCN10A as candidate genes, but not
SCN11A, another cardiac sodium channel gene adjacent to SCN10A? Limit your
answer to 1-2 sentences.
