When we examined below the top 25 associations on our list of nominally significant GEE results for various SCA phenotypes, there were significant associations with multivariable-adjusted CAC for several SNPs on chromosome 9, including three SNPs (rs10511701, rs1556516 and rs1537371; p-values for association 1.1 × 10 -4 , 8.8 × 10 -5 , and 1.7 × 10 -4 , respectively) lying within a 15 kB region implicated in recent GWAS's for coronary heart disease.

When we examined for associations between SCA and SNPs on the 100K chip that reside in or near some previously studied candidate genes, we confirmed a number of modestly significant SNP associations with SCA phenotypes (Table 4 ).
