Manhattan plot of associated findings.

<p>Data is displayed as –log₁₀P values against chromosomal location for the 119,117 SNPs that were included in the statistical analysis. The dotted line represents the conservative significance threshold of P = 4.2×10⁻⁷. The two loci that showed an association at this level are plotted in red.</p

Regional association plots for the two associated SNPs with SCD.

<p>Each SNP is plotted with respect to its chromosomal location (x-axis) and –log₁₀P-value (y-axis on the left). The spikes indicate the recombination rate (y-axis on the right) at that region of the chromosome.</p

Summary of the two loci associated with SCD.

<p>Chr, chromosome; SE, standard error; OR, odds ratio.</p
