Proportion of risk SNPs within lncRNA genes compared to whole genome distrbution. Empirical p-values based on 10,000 permutations of lncRNA genes across the whole genome.

b

SNPs with r2>0.2 and within a 250kb distance were grouped into independent regions.

c

Proportion of regions overlapping lncRNA genes compared to whole genome distribution. Empirical p-values based on 10,000 permutations of independent regions across the whole genome.

d

Proportion of risk SNPs in ovarian-active lncRNA genes compared to all lncRNAs. Empirical p-values based on 10,000 permutations of active/inactive classification of lncRNAs.

e

Proportion of regions overlapping ovarian-active lncRNA genes compared to all lncRNAs. Empirical p-values based on 10,000 permutations of independent regions that overlapped lncRNAs.
