Supplementary Figure 2: QQ plots of observed versus expected P values for the joint genome-wide stage 1 analysis from a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, study and two eigenvectors from a joint model to adjust for population stratification.

The red dots represent a plot using all SNPs, whereas the green dots represent a plot excluding SNPs (and SNPs within 500 kb of SNPs) previously reported to be associated with ESCC risk. The inflation factor λ for the plot using all SNPs was 1.01.
