Also see Figure 1. GWAIS analysis was [SNP+SNP*coffee] test with 2 df adjusting for sex, age, PC1 and PC2. The test examines the significance of the SNP main effect and its interaction with coffee, without introducing the significant effect of coffee on PD. Results for GRIN2A were equally significant under Dominant and Additive models. Recessive model had no clear signal (see Figure S1). Also shown are the results obtained with the same dataset and under the same analytic model for the known PD genes SNCA, MAPT and HLA. SNCA and HLA had reached P<5×10−8 in our GWAS. The fall in significance in GWAIS is due in part to 1/3 reduction in sample size due to unavailability of coffee data, and also the penalty imposed by the added degree of freedom. GRIN2A did not have a strong main effect to be noticed in GWAS, but in GWAIS, the inclusion of coffee and interaction placed GRIN2A higher than SNCA, HLA and MAPT.
