Figure 1

Regional plots for the newly-identified loci in this study.

SNPs are plotted by their position on the chromosome against their association (−log10 P value) with the trait of interest (as shown in Table 1) using stage I (GWAS meta-analysis) data. Estimated recombination rates (from HapMap) are plotted in cyan to reflect the local LD structure. The SNPs surrounding the top SNP are color-coded (see inset) to reflect their LD with the top SNP (using pair-wise r2 values from HapMap CHB + JPT data). Genes and positions of exons, as well as directions of transcription, are shown below the plots (using data from the UCSC Genome Browser, genome.ucsc.edu). The arrows shown in Plots a, b, e indicate SNPs that were previously reported to be associated with height. Plots were generated using LocusZoom.
