Note. Results for variations of the method for the 32 Mbp width region on chromosome 5, 128–160 bp. Nom 0.01: the analysis was performed using p = 0.01 as the cutoff for nominal SNP-wise significance. Nom 0.11: the analysis was performed using p = 0.1 as the cutoff for nominal SNP-wise significance. EIGENSTRAT: the analysis was performed on data corrected for population stratification using the EIGENSTRAT procedure.
