We are releasing the summary data from our meta-analyses of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in order to enable other researchers to examine particular variants or loci for their evidence of association with anthropometric traits. The files include p-values and direction of effect at over 2 million directly genotyped or imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To prevent the possibility of identification of individuals from these summary results, we are not releasing allele frequency data from our samples.

Significant digits for the p values, betas and standard errors are limited to two digits to further limit the possibility of identifiability.

  • MarkerName: The dbSNP name of the genetic marker
  • Allele1: The first allele (hg19 + strand). Where the regression coefficients (betas) are provided, the first allele is the effect allele. Where betas are not provided (typically the 2010 data), the first allele is the trait-increasing allele.

  • Freq.Allele1.HapMapCEU: The allele frequency of Allele1 in the HapMap CEU population
  • b: beta
  • SE: standard error

For the Height DEPICT Gene Set Enrichment Analysis file, the columns are as follows:

  • A: the ID of the predefined gene set (before reconstitution by DEPICT);

  • C: the DEPICT P-value for enrichment;
  • D: the false discovery rate for enrichment;
