Biological constraints on GWAS SNPs at suggestive significance thresholds reveal additional BMI loci

Biological constraints on GWAS SNPs at suggestive significance thresholds reveal additional BMI loci

To uncover novel significant association signals (p<5×10−8), genome-wide association studies (GWAS) requires increasingly larger sample sizes to overcome statistical correction for multiple testing. As an alternative, we aimed to identify associations among suggestive signals (5 × 10−8≤p&...
