Fig 5. Frequency distribution of the number of SNPs with near-independent significant effect on stature (P < 5x10-8) in 100 control tests.
In each test, 370 out of 1,184 cattle (COJO-C) genes were sampled. The number of near-independent significant SNPs within and 100kbp either side of the sampled genes were identified and compared to the number obtained within and 100kbp either side of the 370 SMR-C genes. The vertical red dashed line represents the number of near-independent significant SNPs (P < 5x10-8) associated with stature, identified within and 100kbp either side of the 370 SMR-C genes, that have been shown to be associated with height in humans through an SMR analysis. The p value represent the proportion of samples (out of 100) that have equal or lower level of enrichment for GWAS hits than the SMR-C genes.
