Figure 3. Correlations between number of patients, number of genes and number of pathways.

Figure 3

The correlations between the number of individuals in GWAS studies, the number of genes that were found to be significantly associated with the phenotype and the number of pathways significantly associated with the phenotype. A. Weak correlation between size of case-control studies and number of pathways significantly associated with phenotypes (Pearson correlation = 0.28). B. Correlation between number of phenotype-gene associations and size of case-control studies (Pearson correlation = 0.59). C. Correlation between number of phenotype-gene associations and number of significant phenotype-pathway associations (Pearson correlation = 0.58).
