  1. This table outlines the number of associations (single SNP, SNP-covariate interactions, and SNP-SNP interactions) passing each level of multiple testing criteria (False Discovery Rate (FDR), 4-fold cross validation (CV) repeated and averaged 10 times, and internal replication in two subsets of the full dataset). The intersection of associations passing all three criteria reveals little overlap.
  2. *P-values for SNP main effects are from a 2 degree of freedom likelihood ratio test statistic. The SNP-covariate and SNP-SNP interactions p-values were determined from a likelihood ratio test comparing a full model (including all interactions and main effects) to a reduced model only containing main effects of covariates and/or SNPs.
