Association of European loci in East-Asian samples; spine BMD.

The SNPs that associated with spine BMD in the East-Asian samples in this study are shown. The SNP alleles that associate with lower BMD in Europeans are shown and their frequency in Europeans and East-Asians. The estimated effect on lumbar spine BMD is expressed as standard deviations below the mean. Single-sided P values are shown for the individual sample sets separately (Korea, Hong Kong-I, Hong Kong-II) and the three samples sets combined. Heterogeneity P values (Phet) and estimates (I2) are given.
