Results for the genome-wide analysis, replication, and follow-up studies of the SNP rs1466535 in LRP1 associated with AAA. Allele frequencies (AF) shown are for the risk (C) allele. Association testing was performed with the Cochran-Armitage trend test (two-tailed) analysis in the discovery study corrected for a genomic inflation factor of 1.096 and the first six components of a multidimensional scaling analysis. Two-tailed Cochran-Armitage trend tests were used in the replication and follow-up studies. The genome-wide discovery study was performed comparing a pooled AAA case set from contributing centers with the WTCCC2 unscreened controls. The laboratory replication study was performed with a pooled case and control set (not all centers contributed both cases and controls to the analysis). The control samples used in the genome-wide analysis, and the studies from Iceland and Copenhagen were not screened for the presence of AAA. The combined analysis was performed by generic inverse variance weighted meta-analysis with a fixed effects model (Phet is the p value for Cochrans Q test for heterogeneity). The overall combined analysis of the discovery, replication and follow-up studies is shown in bold type.
