SNP associations across the MERTK gene in the discovery (GWAS), replication and combined datasets.

SNPs in bold are the 12 SNPs that show association in both the discovery and replication cohorts. Un-bolded SNPs are SNPs genotypes in the discovery dataset that showed suggestive association, but failed to replicate. SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; GWAS, genome-wide association study; Chr, Chromosome; Gen, genotyped; Imp, imputed; MAF, minor allele frequency; HWE, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; OR, odds ratio.1SNP positions are from the Ensembl Genome Browser (http://www.ensembl.org/index.html, October 2010. Acc: 7027).2Analysis of the combined dataset was adjusted for sample group (discovery/replication).
