Fig. 2. Manhattan plot displaying loci associated with macular telangiectasia type II.
Each point denotes a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located on a particular chromosome (x-axis). The significance level is presented in the y-axis. The dotted grey line indicates the threshold for genome-wide significance 5 × 10−8 while the dotted orange line indicates the threshold for suggestive genome-wide significance 5 × 10−6. Genes located proximal to or within genome-wide significant loci are displayed above each locus.
