Table 5.

Proportions of SNPs with mild, moderate, and large effect for CAD GWAS data

Type of No. of Mild effect (%) Moderate effect (%) Large effect (%)
SNPs SNPs OR Cohen’s h OR Cohen’s h OR Cohen’s h
Common 360839 99.453 99.936 0.546 0.063 0.001 0.001
Rare 52220 69.772 73.416 23.932 26.505 6.296 0.079

The respective thresholds of ORs for mild, moderate and large effect at common SNPs were |log(OR)|≦log(1.2), log(1.2) < |log(OR)|≦log(1.5), and |log(OR)| > log(1.5), whereas Cohen’s h had respective thresholds of |h|≦0.075, 0.075 < |h|≦0.15, and |h| > 0.15. The respective thresholds of ORs for mild, moderate and large effect at rare SNPs were |log(OR)|≦log(1.5), log(1.5) < |log(OR)|≦log(2), and |log(OR)| > log(2), whereas Cohen’s h had respective thresholds of |h|≦0.05, 0.05 < |h|≦0.1, and |h| > 0.1.
