AMD Gene Consortium Study of Age Related Macular Degeneration
Meta-Analysis Tables
The three tables below summarize the results of the meta-analysis described
in Fritsche et al, Nature Genetics (2013). Each table includes seven
columns: the rs# for each SNP evaluated, the two alleles of the SNP in genome-build
37, the number of cases and controls evaluated for the SNP,
the combined p-value for the SNP, the overall direction of effect
(a positive statistic indicates allele 1 was associated with increased
risk of macular degeneration). The files included both genotyped and imputed SNPs
and are provided in a compressed text file to conserve space.
To browse results in a user friendly fashion, try LocusZoom, and
request the option to plot published GWAS results.

Columns in Result Files
| Column Label | Description |
| Marker | This is the marker name. |
| Allele1 | This the allele used as the effect allele. |
| Allele2 | This is the "other" allele. |
| Ncases | The number of cases analysed for this marker. |
| Ncontrols | The number of controls analysed for this marker. |
| GC.Pvalue | Meta-analysis p-value, after genomic control correction. |
| Overall | Overall direction of effect. Positive values indicate allele1 was associated with increased disease risk. |
NOTE:These files were updated on April 24, 2013 to fix a formatting
issue; that resulted in wrong direction of effect for several SNPs.
