Given that results from nearby markers are not independent, it is possible that a region might happen to show deviation from HWE at p < 10 -3 or p < 10 -4 and that several markers in this region might be significant at this level and hence produce a combined score exceeding the threshold of 15.

Markers typed in genome-wide analysis identify regions showing deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
