(a) Levels of statistical significance for associations of loci with p-value of 10–5 or lower identified through GWAS and entered in the catalog of GWAS as of October 14, 2008 (41,42) and limited to those that have binary phenotypes (n = 223). For details on selection of loci in the catalog see References 41 and 42. (b) Odds ratios (per allele) for the 223 associations. (c) Odds ratios for 142 of the 233 associations that have p < 10–7. Not shown are 5, 13, and 7 outliers that had values outside the depicted range in the three panels respectively.
