Summary of results from dichotomous admixture scans for BMI.

BMI was adjusted for age, age-squared, sex and study for all runs, except for runs 6 and 7, where analysis was performed in each gender group and thus not adjusted for sex.
aCases: 20% with the highest covariate-adjusted BMI; controls: 20% with the lowest values.
bThe number of SNPs analyzed after applying a series of quality filters.
cGenome-wide scores>2 are formally significant; scores>1 are suggestive.
dLOD scores>5 are formally significant; scores>4 are suggestive.
eThe six cohorts composed 94% of all samples with clinically measured BMI.
