Results from Bayesian Quantitative Trait Nucleotide (BQTN) analysis of the SNP data.

Trait Gene/Region_SNP Posterior probability of a functional effect (BQTN analysis)*
CorCP N/S N/S
IMT CACNA1H_rs1004041 0.738

Posterior probability of 75% (0.75) and greater is indicative of positive evidence of support for the functional model over the null model of no effect; 95 % (0.95) is indicative of strong support favoring the functional model over the null model of no effect; 99% (0.99) is indicative of very strong support of a functional model.
