*

Table is modified from arcOGEN, 2012. Most current meta-analysis p-values are reported.

**

Value reported for knee osteoarthritis in meta-analysis with Whites and Asian cohorts. Association has been previously reported for hip osteoarthritis and in Asian cohorts [1416].

***

Value reported for knee OA. Most significant signal is located in an LD block in 7q22 that also includes COG5, HBP1, PRKAR2B, GPR22, and BCAP29. Region is also associated with hand osteoarthritis [17].
