Forest plot of the meta-analysis of rs7077361 in <i>ITGA8</i>.
<p>Study-specific allelic odds ratios (ORs, black squares) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs, lines) were calculated for each included dataset. The summary OR and CI was calculated using the DerSimonian Laird random-effects model (grey diamond) <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002548#pgen.1002548-DerSimonian1" target="_blank">[31]</a>. C = Caucasian ancestry.</p
Manhattan plot of all meta-analysis results performed in PDGene.
<p>This summary combines association results from 7,123,986 random-effects meta-analyses based on the March 31<sup>st</sup> 2011 datafreeze of the PDGene database. Results are plotted as −log<sub>10 </sub><i>P</i>-values (y-axis) against physical chromosomal location (x-axis). Black and grey dots indicate results originating exclusively from the three fully publicly available GWAS datasets <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002548#pgen.1002548-Maraganore2" target="_blank">[10]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002548#pgen.1002548-Pankratz1" target="_blank">[12]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002548#pgen.1002548-SimnSnchez1" target="_blank">[13]</a> (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002548#s4" target="_blank">Methods</a>), while green dots are based on a combination of smaller scale studies, supplemented by GWAS datasets (where applicable). Gene annotations are provided for genes highlighted in the main text.</p
Overview of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) published in PD until March 31, 2011.
<p>The overview is based on content on the PDGene website (<a href="http://www.pdgene.org" target="_blank">http://www.pdgene.org</a>; current on March 31<sup>st</sup>, 2011). Studies are listed in order of publication date. ‘# PD GWAS’ and ‘# CTRL GWAS’ refers to sample sizes used in the initial GWAS datasets, whereas ‘Follow-up’ refers to the total number of replication samples where applicable. ‘Featured genes’ are those genes/loci that were declared as ‘associated’ in the original publication; note that criteria for declaring association varies across studies. Genetic loci in bold font denote genes showing genome-wide significant results (<i>P</i><5×10<sup>−8</sup>) in the PDGene meta-analyses.</p
