The Chromosome 9p21 CVD- and T2D-Associated Regions in a Norwegian Population (The HUNT2 Survey)

Figure 2

Plot summaries for single point association results. Plot summary of association results for 18 SNPs tagging the 138 kb CVD and T2D region on chromosome 9p21 for association with T2D, myocardial infarction, stroke, angina pectoris, or CHD (both MI and angina) using 5564 subjects from the HUNT2 study. The plot show local association results for all phenotypes together with the location and orientation of the genes it includes, local estimates of recombination rates and LD heat map with defined blocks (Gabriel et al.). The plots were created using the R-package SNP Plotter [39].
