Supplementary Figure 1.Principal components analysis and quantile-quantile plot for the trend test

(a) The quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot examination of P value distribution in GWAS. (b, c) We conduct principal components analysis (PCA) using EIGENSTRAT 2.0 with HapMap III data to correct our data for population stratification in GWAS. PCA was based on the genotype data of 40,000 SNPs, roughly equal spacing across the human genome and selected from high-quality SNPs in cases and controls.
