Table 1 Comparison between the classical and second-generation p-value.
Fig. 2 Manhattan plot of SNP associations, colored according to second-generation p-value status. The x-axis shows SNP position on chromosome 6 and the position of the organic cation transporter gene (SLC22A3). The top 16 associations by p-value rank are in green and the top 16 associations by second-generation p-value rank are in black. Bonferroni, FDR, and unadjusted significance levels are show by dashed lines.

Fig. 4 1/8 likelihood SIs for the estimated odds ratio for SNPs with the smallest 500 p-values. The x-axis is p-value rank. The interval null hypothesis (in gray) ranges from 0.9 to 1.1111 (= 1/0.9). Intervals are colored according to second-generation p-value status. The top 16 Bonferroni SNPs are in green and the top 16 SGPV SNPs are in black. Bonferroni (“Bonf”) and FDR significance levels are shown by dashed lines.
