Top genome-wide significant SNPs associated with bone mineral density of the total-body less head, lower limb, upper limb and skull.
(TBLH-BMD) = total-body less head BMD, (LL-BMD) = lower limb BMD, (UL-BMD) = upper limb BMD, (SK-BMD) = skull BMD, (GENE) = closest gene, (POS) = position in the genome based on hg18, (EAF) = effect allele frequency, (β) = estimates of effect size expressed as adjusted SD per copy of the effect allele (EA), (SE) = standard error of β, (P) = pvalue, (I2) = Cochran's Q statistic evaluating heterogeneity, (PHET) = evidence of heterogeneity and
*Sample sizes used for SK-BMD genome-wide meta-analysis.
