highly significantp = 1.2×10 −7
For both phenotype traits, highly significant p -values ( p = 1.2×10 −7 for BMI and p = 4.8×10 −10 for type 2 diabetes) were attained for rs1421085, which belonged to LD cluster 3, while the other assayed SNPs except for rs9941349 showed almost equivalent levels of significant association in Asians ( Table 1 and Table S2).
