Based on LD in the NFBC1966, the 48 SNPs analysed represent 44 independent signals in 43 loci (see Materials and Methods: Genotyping of SNPs). Twenty-four of the 44 signals (corresponding to 26 of the 48 SNPs) associated (p<0.05) with adult height (Table 2). All of them had the same direction of effect as identified in GWA studies [4]–[6].
