    <p>Results of a meta-analysis of the association between F<sub>ROHLD</sub> and height are shown for twenty-one population samples. The model was adjusted for age and sex in all samples. Additionally, it was adjusted for genomic kinship in samples with pairs of related individuals (CROATIA-Korčula, CROATIA-Split, CROATIA-Vis, ERF, FINRISK, HBCS, H2000, INGI-CARL, INGI-FVG, INGI-VB, MICROS, NFBC1966, NSPHS, ORCADES and YFS). The plot shows estimated effect sizes (solid squares) for each population, with 95% confidence intervals (horizontal lines). Each sample estimate is weighted by the inverse of the squared standard error of the regression coefficient, so that the smaller the standard error of the study, the greater the contribution it makes to the pooled regression coefficient. The area of the solid squares is proportional to the weighting given to each study in the meta-analysis. Effect sizes in z-score units (with 95% confidence intervals) are: CROATIA-Korčula = −0.02 (−0.09, 0.04); CROATIA-Split = −0.06 (−0.1, −0.002); CROATIA-Vis = −0.07 (−0.1, −0.01); EGCUT = −0.09 (−0.04, 0.2); ERF = −0.08 (−0.1, −0.05); FINRISK = −0.1 (−0.2, −0.07); HBCS = −0.04 (−0.2, 0.1); H2000 = −0.2 (−0.5, 0.04); INGI-CARL = 0.02 (−0.03, 0.07); INGI-FVG = −0.0001 (−0.08, 0.08); INGI-VB = 0.005 (−0.03, 0.04); LBC1921 = −0.1 (−0.3, 0.04); LBC1936 = 0.2 (−0.1, 0.4); MICROS = −0.06 (−0.08, −0.05); NFBC1966 = −0.1 (−0.2, −0.1); NSPHS = −0.07 (−0.07, −0.06); ORCADES = −0.04 (−0.08, 0.001); QIMR = −0.07 (−0.5, 0.3); RS = −0.02 (−0.1, 0.08); SOCCS = −0.05 (−0.4, 0.3); YFS = −0.3 (−1.2, 0.7).</p

    Genome-wide association for serum calcium in discovery analysis in Europeans.

    No full text
    <p>Manhattan plot showing −log<sub>10</sub>(P values) for all SNPs in the discovery GWAS for uncorrected serum calcium in Europeans (N = 39,400), ordered by chromosomal position. The plot is truncated at −log10 P values of 10 (truncated −log<sub>10</sub>P values for GCKR and CASR). The values correspond to the association of uncorrected serum calcium, including age and sex as covariates in the model as well as study-specific covariates if needed. The gene closest to the SNP with the lowest P value is listed at each locus. Six loci reached genome-wide significance (<i>P</i><5E-08) at discovery analysis (<i>GCKR</i>, <i>DGKD</i>, <i>CASR</i>, <i>VKORC1L1</i> (in grey on chromosome 7), <i>CARS</i> and <i>CYP24A1</i>. The seven loci that reached genome-wide significance at the combined analysis following replication are highlighted in red (<i>GCKR</i>, <i>DGKD</i>, CASR, <i>GATA3</i>, <i>CARS</i>, <i>DGKH</i>-KIAA0564 and <i>CYP24A1</i>).</p

    Relative mRNA expression of replicated genes in three calcium-transporting tissues (kidney, duodenum, tibia).

    <p>The expression (based on delta CT [cycle threshold] normalized to actin) of the selected genes is compared to the expression of the <i>CASR</i> gene in the duodenum, thereby providing a relative expression. Cut-off was set at delta CT≀15. Data are means ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of values obtained from 5 mice fed a normal diet. <i>GCKR</i> was not expressed.</p
