Fig. 7.
Log10 p-values (y-axis) of joint association test between SNPs in the nonclass II MHC region (x-axis) and SNPs in the MHC class II region (32.5–32.8 Mb), with main effects of the MHC class II SNPs subtracted and conditioned on 78 T1D associated haplotypes in HLA-DR-DQ. Each SNP has multiple p-values, shown as grey dots, corresponding to interactions with different MHC class II SNPs. The black line for the SNP indicates the −log 10 p-value of the nonclass II SNP’s main effect. A cutoff of 10−5 for the p-values, shown as the dashed line, corresponds to roughly one false positive among all tests.
