Figure 1: A Q – Q plot of the RCC GWAS results.
From: A common variant at 8q24.21 is associated with renal cell cancer
The plot shows the uncorrected (blue crosses) and corrected (using the method of genomic control; red circles) χ2-statistics from the RCC GWAS. This data set consists of χ2-values for 300,843 SNPs present on the Illumina chips used to genotype the Icelandic study samples. The broken lines are boundaries of the theoretical 95% point-wise confidence band (assuming independent χ2-variables). The solid black equiangular line is displayed for reference purposes.
