Top: association analyses between inv-8p23 genotypes and low BMI in the SHARP sample, adjusted for the first two genome-wide PCA components. While individuals with European haplotype ancestry have a significant risk for low BMI, self-reported European-Americans do not. The P-value with an asterisk is significant after correction for multiple genetic models. Bottom: association analysis between inv-8p23 and low BMI in the INMA sample. Combined effects between the two cohorts resulted in OR = 2.00, P-value = 0.001 and population attributable risk of 2.8%.
