Figure 1
Genome wide association results for the TERT-CLPTM1L locus. Solid triangles represent genotyped SNPs, and hollow triangles fully imputed SNPs. The top imputed SNP rs13356727 is displayed as a purple diamond and the degree of LD (r2) with all other plotted SNPs indicated by their colour. The other discussed SNPs, the fully genotyped rs4975616 and rs401681 have been singled out. While all other plotted p values are derived from the imputed dosage scores there was insufficient information to well impute SNPs on the whole data set for a 30k region spanning the central part of TERT. Genotyped p values for this 30k region have been included as boxed squares, indicating the association signal does not extend into the central part of TERT.
