aSquared correlation between the causal polymorphism and the linked marker, corrected by kinship and structure

bMean power over the 314 SNPs with MAF > 5 % in the four genomic regions, assuming a family wise error rate of 5 % and using AIS kinship estimation, calculated as the power at the causal locus multiplied by the corrected LD between the causal locus and the marker
