For a given phenotype, the 95% credible set in a region of association is the smallest set of markers that together have 95% posterior probability of containing the marker causally associated with the phenotype. We found credible sets for standing height using the method described previously33 and summarize the results in Extended Data Fig. 6. It is important to note that this approach is based on a model in which there is exactly one causal marker in the region and genotypes for that marker are available in the data. Our results should therefore be considered as indicative of a more detailed analysis where, for example, the regions are first analysed to distinguish independent association signals.
