Overlap between SNP pairs found by GWIS and previous studies. "Lit. total" refers to the number of SNP pairs previously reported. "Lit. after GSS" refers to the number of pairs that remain significant after applying the GSS filter. "Overlap" is the set of pairs detected by GWIS and reported in literature. GWIS only and GWIS total refer to the number of pairs only detected by GWIS and the total number of pairs detected by GWIS respectively. Significance for DSS and GSS is defined by Bonferroni correction $\left(\mathsf{\text{p - value}}={\left(\begin{array}{c}\hfill 459,012\hfill \\ \hfill 2\hfill \end{array}\right)}^{-1}\approx 10^{-11}\right)$.
