A Catalog of Published Genome-Wide Association Studies

The genome-wide association study (GWAS) publications listed here include only those attempting to assay at least 100,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the initial stage. Publications are organized from most to least recent date of publication, indexing from online publication if available. Studies focusing only on candidate genes were excluded from this catalog. Studies were identified through PubMed literature searches, comparisons with an existing database of GWAS literature (HuGE Navigator) and reports from the media.

SNP-trait associations listed here are limited to those with p-values < 9.5 x 10-6 and not previously reported. Note that SNPs replicated in subsequent GWA studies are therefore not included. For most studies, only the five most significant SNPs reaching this significance level are listed. Multipliers of powers of 10 in p-values were rounded to the nearest single digit; odds ratios and allele frequencies were rounded to two decimals. Standard errors were converted to 95 percent confidence intervals where applicable. Allele frequencies, p-values, and odds ratios derived from the largest sample size, typically a combined analysis (initial plus replication studies), are recorded below if reported; otherwise statistics from the initial study sample are recorded. Odds ratios < 1 in the original paper were converted to OR > 1 for the alternate allele. ORs derived from multiple models reported in the original paper were prioritized as follows: 1) additive (per-allele) model 2) heterozygotes relative to homozygotes for the non-risk allele. P-values from 2-degree of freedom models are preferentially reported over those based on 1-degree of freedom models where both were available.

Gene regions corresponding to SNPs were identified from the UCSC Genome Browser. Genes are those reported by the authors in the original paper. Only one SNP within a gene or region of high linkage disequilibrium is recorded unless there was evidence of independent association.
