Table 2 Association results between 14 traits and their corresponding top SNPs, where top SNPs were selected based on visit 1 results of SardiNIA GWAS, and where z-statistics for Average and SHAVE are based on three visits

From: SHAVE: shrinkage estimator measured for multiple visits increases power in GWAS of quantitative traits

  1. The z-statistics are shown in order for visit 1 (z1), visit 2 (z2), Average (zAVG) and SHAVE (zSHAVE). In the next four columns their corresponding ranks within each trait are shown, where 1 is assigned to the most significant and 4 to the least. On the last row, we have the averages of the ranks for each metric.
