Trait p Value Number of Loci (FDR) TEV
Number of Replicated Loci
Single SNP Multi-SNP Single SNP Multi-SNP
Height p < 5 × 10−8 106 (0.0%) 4.10% 6.93% 93 96
p < 1 × 10−2 2,073 (80.0%) 6.88% 13.52% 142 186
BMI p < 5 × 10−8 18 (7.0%) 0.92% 1.02% 15 16
p < 1 × 10−2 2,031 (95.0%) 1.96% 3.61% 15 25
WHR p < 5 × 10−8 2 (0.0%) 0.09% 0.09% 2 2
p < 1 × 10−2 1,985 (100.0%) 0.12% 2.22% 0 2

These estimates account for the number of SNPs constituting the multi-SNP association. FDR was estimated with the Bayes’ theorem (for details, see Supplemental Data section 4). The following abbreviations are used: FDR, false discovery rate; TEV, total explained variance; BMI, body mass index; and WHR, waist-to-hip ratio.
